Rivian reviews

You never see your family, working 12 hour shifts 6 days a week, they blame it on it being a "start up company" when they are past that stage and in production of their vehicles. You will work those 70-80 hour weeks, just to come home and pass out because you are left with no energy. For your paid sick days, you are given 10 days in a year, they do not adjust or account for forced overtime. You are required to use 12 hours of your time, out of your 80 hours, while the rest of the plant gets to use their full 10 days. They tell you when you are hired that it will be awesome, you'll get super hyped and then they will drain you dry till you have nothing left to give. They are extremely inconsistent, between start times, and supervisors, things are constantly changing, no one can make up their minds and it causes a lot of conflict. Their version of HR is a joke, any concerns or complaints submitted to management are ignored, and you never hear back, almost like they are trained to avoid employees.

The company does not understand work/life balance. Right now I am working 2 weeks straight with 1 day off. Some people don't mind but it does get to be a lot, especially around holidays. Plan on not seeing your kids or family a lot because you will LIVE there. Management and "team" environment is OK but mediocre and subpar. Management often times is more so just a title and non existent. The term "team" loses its claimed value at the company once you leave orientation. DO NOT COUNT ON ANYTHING THEY TELL YOU! They love to pull the rug from under you a lot so please take everything lightly and don't expect to get everything that they tell you. They promote the people that are the WORST examples.... people that you would probably use as an example of what not to be... this isn't true for all but definitely for most.
