      They’re in a death spiral and they will take your sanity down with the same path

      Sr staff software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The pay is market rate give or take?

      Cons

      This place embodies toxic positivity. If you’re a critical thinker who questions things and likes to dig deep, you will have that beat out of you. Don’t bother being an engineer, that isn’t valued it’s punished. Leadership all the way up the chain expects zero friction. If you question someone or express a negative outlook, you will be punished. They will gaslight you in to thinking everything great and you’re the problem even though they have not achieved a single goal they’ve set out to do.

      Lies, deception, incompetent management

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If there’s any pro at all it’s that there’s a paycheck that you’ll never get a chance to spend.

      Cons

      Lied to about schedules and time off. There is ZERO family time. Production is the only thing that matters. 7 day schedules with all of them being 12+ hours a day with the promise of the next weekend off that never happens. Deceptive about hiring more people for night shifts. I was hired for day shift and I’m working a constant 7 day, 12 hour swing shift. Management is the biggest buffoons in the entire company. “People MUST volunteer for weekends or they will make it mandatory.” No future for people with a family here unless you’re a suck up to the CEO or VP.

      Deception

      Engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Learning opportunity and A Good launch pad, to further your career. 2. Business and Goto market Strategy 3. The Rivian-101, makes a good filter for good natured people to come in. However, all the while being in the company, I could never find the Management following it in spirit. It has been followed strategically/selectively to move the agenda forward and attract talent for cheap. In either case (though Deceptive), using a people policy to strategically motivate team is a better approach. (though the company is still learning it at your expense, I hope its only a growing pain. Does not become systemic of Rivian)

      Cons

      1. The lofty ideals in paper, does not materialize in reality. 2. The people experience of Managers is abysmal. very de-motivating to an extent, makes you leave the company. 3. What you did is immaterial, if the forces in Irvine/manager, could not decipher it. The organization is skewed towards Irvine, better be in their good books. If you are deciding based on this review, try to join the company in Irvine. For better visibility and growth.
