It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves - in finding themselves !
Pros
I've worked at Rivian for three years now. It’s been a great journey working alongside very talented people. Everyone here is super motivated to achieve and exceed their goals. I’ve worked at both large companies and start-ups. I think Rivian has the best balance in terms of being innovative, moving fast and having the right level of processes to help it succeed. One of the things I really like about this company is the Rivian 101 culture. It is not something that just feels good to read but is lived in every decision of the company. The CEO is a visionary with genuine interest in making the world a better, more sustainable place. He has an eye for talent and is not afraid to challenge employees to reach their true potential. If you like being in your comfort zone, doing something that has been done numerous times, this is not a place for you. This is a place for adventurous people with a strong desire to change the world for better. And as they say, “Adventure is worthwhile in itself.”
Cons
Like every other company in this world that is growing rapidly, there are challenges and problems here too. But what is refreshing is that these problems are addressed before they get out of control. I’ve seen some very difficult decisions taken to maintain the culture of the organization.
