Pros

-I worked for a big corporation for 10 years prior to taking the leap to Rivian. The creativity and desire to make awesome products at Rivian is unmatched. -Compensation is great. -Co-workers are helpful and wanting to collaborate daily. -I want to come to work to make a difference (couldn't say that about my previous job) -Food is catered often (Food Trucks, Panera, Chipotle, etc.) -Beer Thursday (Rivian Social: once a month) -Family and friends are encouraged to come see what we are doing (with a signed NDA, of course)

Cons

The company is growing very fast and the onboarding process is long.

Pros

Decent money. Can be easy. Genuinely hoping all this hard work will be beneficial to the planet

Cons

It's a good thing they got such a larger sized plant to be able to accommodate the amount of absolute narcissists and animals that I've met here. This place isn't powered on electricity, windmills, or solar power. No, this entire place THRIVES on absolute ego! Nothing but obnoxious, self absorbed narcissists walking around blaring music, heavily vaping, and loudly talking about whatever shallow interest dictates their small little worlds. Everyone acts like it's a fashion show or a popularity contest but truth be told, I haven't met one genuinely cool person up there. The nicest people all have issues or keep to themselves. It's like you're in a cage with animals The parking lot is a warzone at the beginning and end of every shift because everybody has to get to THEIR home first because apparently it's THEIR world. You can see the arrogance and disregard for everything in their face. I thought I was bitter before but now all I do is fantasize about is remote work without another human in site

Pros

Rivian boasts a vibrant and inclusive work environment. The company values collaboration, creativity, and innovation, which is reflected in the overall atmosphere. The team members are talented and passionate about their work, creating a supportive and engaging workplace.

Cons

It's a start up so you will be pulled in many different directions. Start of the quarter you are slow and, end of the quarter you will be nonstop in any given 8+ hour shift. Invest in great shoes. You'll likely find yourself working some weekends or as needed. And oftentimes, you may find yourself exposed to the outdoor elements. Invest in plenty of sunscreen.
