Pros

Benefits, employee stocks, decent pay. Most of the leaders are respectable to their subordinates.

Cons

Poor work/life balance. Forced to work weekends when there is not much work to be done. Too many employees but not enough for them to do.

Pros

Rivian is the best part of every job I ever had... X10. There is an infectious buzz in every office (a buzz I'm missing during our Shelter in Place COVID era!). At first I thought it was a "honeymoon" stage - but it's not. People at Rivian LOVE the product! The excitement about what we are embarking upon is obvious. The ability to make an impact is immense – I believe this is what makes working here the most exciting. RJ often says "We are building a truck while we are driving it". We are building processes, tools, organizations, programs... and amazing EV's – thoughtfully and with purpose! Being part of this foundation is extremely exciting. To be part of an organization that is transparent, diverse, smart, opinionated (yet respectful) and challenging (in all the good ways – ways that foster innovation) leaves me feeling extremely grateful and humbled.

Cons

With a company ramping at the rate we are, and driving towards launch, the only constant is change. This isn't a con to me, but it may be to some that don't embrace change and realize that it's part of the evolution of a company and product.
