      Beware!

      Systems integration engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Company culture seems to be good at first, but not followed internally

      Cons

      Lots of politics and bottlenecks with work...I would not recommend if the person does not have least 8-10 years experience.

      Too many chiefs, not enough Indians

      Vehicle build technician
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Salary and unlimited vacation - if it's approved

      Cons

      Environment is very cliquey. The company is filled with young engineers and managers looking to make a splash in the industry, but the inexperience shows. Timelines are regularly missed, partly due to normal issues but typically due to unrealistic expectations by management. Management is out of touch with what is happening under them and do not know how to properly communicate with employees effectively.

      Management needs serious change

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      Good benefits - health, dental and vision. Unlimited PTO

      Cons

      There is a similar culture here like that of another notorious company located in Los Gatos California, they hire quick and fire fast. There are people in the organization that somehow had no experience but got promoted and barely do any work.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m sorry to hear your Rivian journey has come to a close. As Chief People Officer, I’d have a hard time disagreeing with your advice. Setting clear expectations up front and investing in guidance and support are key to setting people up for success. One of my goals is to help Rivian build deeper competencies in these areas. Good luck in your new role! Thank you, Helen.
