Pros

Rivian boasts a vibrant and inclusive work environment. The company values collaboration, creativity, and innovation, which is reflected in the overall atmosphere. The team members are talented and passionate about their work, creating a supportive and engaging workplace.

Cons

It's a start up so you will be pulled in many different directions. Start of the quarter you are slow and, end of the quarter you will be nonstop in any given 8+ hour shift. Invest in great shoes. You'll likely find yourself working some weekends or as needed. And oftentimes, you may find yourself exposed to the outdoor elements. Invest in plenty of sunscreen.

Pros

- Great exposure to the product - Amazing teammates, boots on the ground collaboration - Onboarding is really well done - they take this part seriously and I appreciate that.

Cons

- Limited growth - Constantly worried whether your department is getting laid off. - I've worked at plenty of other startups and EV companies and this one is by far the worst. - Zero job security unless you're JR
