Rivian reviews

-During my time I saw a lot of bureaucratic work piled on to the normal engineering work. TPMs put more on engineers plate to show status of the open tasks to share to leadership. I wish there was more support from these mid level managers to help engineers complete their work. -Too much work given with no real clarity on the scope. Tasks became assigned because they came from upper management but no real explanation as to what the priority was or why it was needed -Lots of lack of alignment on certain topics. Multiple meetings to determine what the priority should be. I felt like I had to make a case for every time something got assigned to me that was not urgent.

Trust no one. You really can't trust this review site. Rivian has people just to go through review sites and if they are ranking poorly, they will manufacture great reviews to balance out their ratings. That's about their best manufacturing they have, besides creating a layoff revolving door. The people from outside of Illinois hate being in Illinois and treat the people from Illinois horribly. Most management for the Normal plant are not from Illinois. Promises are made and never kept. Management and Leadership will set you up for failure if they don't like you, agree with you, or are scared of your potential. Look elsewhere!
