Pros

You have an option to work remotely

Cons

Company is going all different directions Multiple teams working on silo and similar projects No room for growth Encourages bro culture The CEO is a genuine person who cares and thinks good for the company. You can see his passion. But they have some execs who clearly don't know what they are doing and think laying off is the best option for all the bad decisions they made. They do not care about their employees and encourages bad work culture. They usually low ball you and trick you into thinking stocks will eventually help once it goes up ( sadly it has gone downhill since its ipo). There is no job stability nor room for personal growth, so think multiple times before you decide to leave your current job. If you have different offers, I'd suggest you really re-think your choices

Pros

The product is really great and the work environment is fast paced. You're also not constrained by legacy processes and can implement new ideas freely.

Cons

Due to poor management and lack of guidance, you have to implement new ideas just to contribute something valuable. There were no goals when I was there so people pretty much did what they wanted, resulting in a lot of overlap (4 teams working on the same thing in silos).

Bad managers + bad culture

Recommend

Pros

Rivian is trying to solve some interesting and tough problems. Rivian has some really smart and great people who are willing to work hard and go after mission impossible

Cons

Managers are YES-MANs to their managers. They don't care about IC's career growth and just want to make themselves look good. Career advancement is entirely based on how your managers feel about you. It has nothing to do with how your teammates and partners feel about you. Plus, there is no formal performance review. In order to get a promotion, you have to master flattering people. The company doesn't appreciate employees. People burnt out and got frustrated all the time. Plus, the compensation isn't that good at Rivian.
