Pros

Rivian really cares about the environment and culture it is building. This is driven by the CEO and he backs his words with actions. The CTO and some of the senior leadership were recently let go. This kind of decision shows that the company is committed to culture and what we are building. Direction is clear and mood is strong (reviews stating otherwise are just not true). We have a lot to do, and this makes for a fast paced and fun environment.

Cons

Timelines are aggressive as we work toward launch, and a lot of hours are needed.

Thank you for your concise review. Delighted to hear your experience of our outstanding team and mission-focused work has been so positive thus far. Please flag if we ever, perhaps in stressful times, lose sight of the critical importance of always building upon our positive culture to our collective long-term success.

Pros

The Adventure at Rivian is not just in the product, it is a true company culture. Rivian is not a conventional car company. It is a fast paced technology company with a diverse talent base, from car industry, consumer electronics, telecommunication, digital technologies. What I love at Rivian is that we are not only building vehicles, but we are building an end-to-end technology platform and starting from a clean sheet. I had the chance to meet a lot of talented and creative people, with a great energy and a high motivation to change the car industry and have a positive impact on the planet. Rivian’s CEO is a leader who has a great vision, but most importantly, who listens. He talks regularly to people, and gives them a continuous forum to raise ideas, make impact, zoom out and challenge the status quo.

Cons

This is not a 9 to 5 place 😊 There’s a lot of positive momentum and you may end up spending a lot of hours at the office or in the test tracks. You won’t see the days passing by if you have fun.
