Rivian reviews

The inefficiencies make it nearly an impossible place to work, due in part to the redundancies that exist in mid-upper to upper management and continual restructuring of departments. Because of this, no one knows who the final decision maker is which leads to no one taking ownership of programs. Losing months trying to get one decision made to kick off projects is incredibly common. If you can roll with it, you'll be good. But people who like structure and general processes, beware.

NO work life balance, they expect you to be available at all times- day, night, sickness, surgery recovery, vacation, bereavement - and if you do actually take time off you’re buried with work for weeks after Compensation won’t change more than 3% regardless of a promotion or performance UNLESS your managers decide you’re the “golden one” Anyone who has been there more than 3 years isn’t valued- new employees are hired are significantly higher salaries and expected to do less “Promotions” are “offered” after you’ve been doing the work for a long period and they act like everything is a gift The travel policy is archaic- no one can travel on the amount “in policy” for meals… even fast food is too expensive so you pay out of pocket. The in policy flights are only the cheapest ones with the worst scheduling so you travel on weekends a lot. Hotel choices are okay. Policies are vague, assuming you can find one. Most of them are being created and don’t have the right skill set creating them If you aren’t in California, don’t bother trying for promotion, you have to be there to be seen. You could be the best employee at the company and work yourself to death and they would promote someone with less skills, less experience, and less seniority because they are in California and you’re not. (But they’ll never admit that) Did I mention they don’t value employees? They say they do… it’s all smoke and mirrors If you’re not a diversity candidate, best of luck… you’ll never be seen as valuable
