Great Mission, poor exectuion

Pros

The mission and product are truly inspiring. The environment can be engaging and exciting, and the work is fun at times.

Cons

Upper leadership and their unwillingness to be truthful about the status of things. No tangible goals and metrics which is very difficult to understand how you're doing without those in recruiting. Business units are extremely disjointed with messaging and collaboration lacking severely.

Rivian doesn't care about its employees

Pros

Rivian is deeply committed to keeping the world adventurous forever and customers happy.

Cons

From significant issues like poor leadership teams (ELT and LT-1), lack of long term strategy, and no improvement to work-life balance, to smaller things such as eliminating the EEAP program, I've become more confident that employees don't matter to Rivian.

Not a toxic culture

Recommend

Pros

It’s really damaging reading such inaccurate reviews in the media about the Rivian culture. An assault from a disgruntled employee. Let’s state some facts - I saw WEEKLY videos from this person saying how much she loved it here. She interviewed me AND spent most of the interview telling me how much she loved the culture and how it was the best place she’d worked. I do not doubt for one second she will have come up against some bro men. This is America and we have a lot of Bro’s here. But my experience couldn’t be more different. I have an inspirational mentor who is a Director in another team, I have supportive male colleagues. SURE could there be more women working in tech and auto OF COURSE, but we have to lead by example. All these negative reviews are doing is ONCE AGAIN stopping women from trying to get into the tech space. Most toxic culture in 20 years? Or most toxic culture when someone realised they weren’t doing their job well enough to match the hype they’d curated in the media for years? That’s more like it.

Cons

Why is the company not pushing back more in the media? We should stand up and be proud of what we are working here and celebrating the women in the company? Ex disgruntled employees who are looking for a check are going to be on here writing things. And by the way, didn’t the person who is complaining in the media fire someone on her own team during the summer and that person accused HER of being toxic?! Maybe that’s where she got the idea from?
