Rivian reviews

Was never clear exactly what my responsibilities were and what authority I had || Super unclear who made what decisions, resulting in a challenging environment to make any progress || A lot of strong, unpleasant personalities, in a very unsupportive environment || Company had delusional (unachievable) product and growth ambitions, resulting in an environment of overpromising and underdelivering This was the worst place I've ever worked in my 25 year career.

0. The company's bright talents tend to leave for some mystic reason(s). 1. Incompetent mid-level leaders - Sr. Managers, Directors, Sr. Directors. The directors and Sr. directors who are supposed to direct, provide guidance are clueless as to what their jobs mean. Simply put, most of them are people pleasers. One can at least spot a couple of their favourites on their team from their previous worklife. Not that it's a wrong thing - the +1s and +2s are equally bad as those higherups if not worse. 2. Exec. Leadership is young and makes its own mistakes to say the least. What and who once seemed inspiring now are not confidence earning. 3. Long gone is the start-up spirit. Now it's full of egoistic political games. 4. Can see a lot of micro managing higherups lately. 5. Illogical and inefficient project roadmaps.
