      Burned out

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good diversity - Good PR for company due to partnership with Amazon

      Cons

      Extreme burn out working from home. Despite repeated request to management that working from home does not mean working 24/7 the work load and pressure to deliver more and more is increasing. Management once in a rare while sends out email mentioning that this much output is not good for health and that we should slow down, however my immediate manager and colleagues are constantly pushing and pressuring to over commit and over deliver. This means I have to sacrifice my personal life working from home and sacrifice my family. I am working 24/7 . My colleagues brag about working all weekends. They send messages on weekends and after hours to review their code. Colleagues want to do video chat after hours and when I ask them that I have to leave I am asked to stay a bit longer. Personal life is suffering, kids are suffering and mental health is suffering. Management is pressuring their direct reports and in turn they push their direct reports. Management knows about this and is happy with the output. Empty emails about slowing down comes in a rare while which is never heeded by anybody. What I have to work on in how much time is decided by my manager and it cannot change. This is another Tesla culture in making.

      Great Products - Even Better Company

      Pros

      Rivian is a company with highly talented employees who possess skills and knowledge from many different industries resulting in a diverse workforce. The culture at Rivian is amazing and there are endless opportunities on a daily basis for each employee to contribute to the company's success. Rivian puts a lot of effort into ensuring that their employees have the right tools to do their job. The workplace is not only a desirable place to come each day but also one that makes employees feel valued. At Rivian there is open and comfortable communication whether you are talking to the person sitting next to you or RJ the CEO. And to top it off, the upcoming products are going to be amazing.

      Cons

      With launching amazing products comes a lot of hard work and dedication. Coming to Rivian this should be expected and not a surprise. If you are someone not willing to put in the effort than this may not be the right company for you.

      I moved here for this?!

      Manufacturing engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great pay, benefits are good, it's a very inclusive environment, clean, the food is decent. Cute town, albeit small and a bit behind the times.

      Cons

      Massive workload, unrealistic timelines, excessive pressure to produce without proving out the process. Flawed product design. Indirect threat of unemployment. No plan for production fallout. Poor resource management(this one is a pet peeve, a lot of people got used to WFH recently but a manufacturing environment requires hands on engagement and oversight. Zoom meetings don't build things, engineers and technicians with boots on the ground and tools in their hands do). This feel like just another business built to extract every last bit of value from the workforce with very little regard for the human cost. Depression and anxiety are rampant here, sure a degree of stress is healthy and problems will always keep coming up, but forcing people to give up their lives outside of work and to ignore their health, both mental and physical is exactly the type of environment that destroys lives in pursuit of adventure? "greatness?". A cooler truck? Not sustainable, not adventurous.
