      Facilities - Designer

      Design manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits. CEO great and other departments seem good.

      Cons

      Cliquey upper management in facilities design Unrealistic deadlines and toxic management style from some of the senior staff. Over qualified designers given redundant work with little autonomy or respect for experience. Hours make salary usually less than prior positions at interiors firms.

      Hello, I am committed to building highly effective teams that empower each team member to do meaningful work that truly makes an impact. The experience you have shared is counter to the culture of belonging we’re trying to create and has no place at Rivian. If you’re comfortable, I invite you to reach out to me directly or via one of our internal feedback channels so we can look into this further as we have to be sure that the behaviors of all our team members are consistent with our values. You can also reach out to your local People Partner, our 24/7 anonymous hotline, or even contact Helen, our Chief People Officer. Hope to hear from you soon, Jimmy Knauf VP, Facilities

      Fast Paced Startup with High Potential but Needs Improvement

      Senior engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - High potential - Great product - SOME highly skilled, smart, and driven people in the company

      Cons

      -Starting to get too political. Some people try too hard to stand out and constantly bark even though what they say is not helpful. - Super long hours, (60-80+ hrs weekly and no salary/bonus adjustments. New hires, make sure to divide your salary by 60 to get real hourly wages.) - Terrible work-life balance - Unnecessarily high hiring spree, 100+ new employees weekly - Office is meh (used to be a school) - Bad snacks and drinks which directly affects those who work 60+ hours (we need fuel!) -Some aspects of vehicle are too focused on design, and lacking function. But design/marketing team doesn't listen to engineers and car enthusiasts.

      Thank you for taking the time to post a review. Preparing to launch three vehicles and the infrastructure to support those launches have brought on rapid growth across all Rivian locations. We require strong teams to deliver against our goals this year, from our People team to Operations and Commercial. Knowing the ambitious schedule ahead (and the realities of working during a pandemic), we remain vigilant about team wellness. All full-time employees have unlimited paid time off, and we train team managers to ensure their direct reports take the time they need away from work. We can only do our best work if we’re feeling our best—should you feel this has not been your experience, please reach out to your People Partner directly so we can support you further. Thank you, The Rivian Team

      Old timers are getting tired

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Positive brand, media coverage Innovative product - would be game changer if successful Many smart and nice people - it's getting harder to filter out culturally unfit people now that we are hiring so many so fast

      Cons

      Calm before storm for employees who has been here 2+ years without getting bonuses or equity refreshers. There will be an exodus of a huge chunk of employee base if company doesn't do something about it soon. They keep delaying and pushing it off. Not sure how the company will motivate these old timers to stick around another 12 months until production when they know sh*t is gonna hit the fan pretty soon. The new people officer seems like she is doing a good job but nothing substantive has been delivered - everyone is waiting for their equity, especially after almost $6 billion investments.
