      Pros

      Helping to reduce emissions and create a sustainable future....... are here for fame and will kill anyone in their way

      Cons

      On a day to day basis its just a job - but its a much nicer environment than a disaster many of us came from (sounds like F A Day). As Rivianites the pay is average. There’s no bonus. You get a little stock, health care is standard. Basically it is what it is - kinda cheap as it should be. Some people are cheerleaders and they think we’re curing cancer. Then we have the polar opposites who are here looking for fame and fortune and will kill you if you get in their way. My advice to my friends is do your job and don’t expect too much.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Glad to hear you feel connected with our environmental mission. If you’re seeing or personally experiencing aggressive or non-inclusive behavior, please reach out to your manager, local People Partner, or myself. Behavior you have described is absolutely not tolerated and we hope you give us the opportunity to look into and resolve the matter. (I know you made other points--and they don’t paint an overly inspiring picture so I’d appreciate discussing with you to see if there’s a way to improve how you feel about your situation.) Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks again, Helen, Chief People Officer

      Pros

      If you want to work somewhere where you can literally see your impact, this is the place!! Very fast paced work environment, which is very fun - there is never a dull moment. There are a lot of challenges and hurdles to reach our goals, but we have the right team to achieve it! It continues to impress me leadership's involvement and commitment. RJ's commitment to the company culture gives me hope that this is a company I want to stay at for the long run.

      Cons

      Work life balance can be tough, but it's well worth it. You are recognized for your hard work.

      Challenging and Exciting, Gut the Politics

      Pros

      Never a dull moment at Rivian. Our upcoming vehicles are extremely well positioned and we are gearing up for our production launch. Plenty of opportunities to grow as we tackle problems and bring cutting-edge technology to market. We have the cash and the vision to bring our products to market-- the latter is something you rarely find in the auto industry. RJ's leadership and vision at Rivian is something you won't find anywhere else. Look at the investors we've brought on, the partnerships we've forged and the leadership that has joined us from Ford, Tesla, Apple, McLaren and many more.

      Cons

      Launching a new company, with new products, and a new team isn't easy. Over the past year, we've grown a ton, this included a massive restructuring of certain teams and often resulted in management changes. If you read the reviews on here, its easy to see that some people were left behind or resulted in teammates being let go. Some of the new hires worked out, some didn't -- Rivian isn't afraid to admit hiring mistakes. However, Rivian needs to do a better job explaining group restructurings and make it clear why some people didn't work out. Our facilities are overcrowded- they are working on this, but the status has been the same for the last 10 months. We have the resources. Politics can be real on teams, some managers are over their heads and instead of working to better lead their teams, they make power moves with their high-level peers. People can get thrown under the bus with this sort of behavior and HR doesn't do anything about it. While we are trying to move fast, this behavior needs to be squashed. Work/Life balance is nothing surprising. This is an automotive startup on the cusp of production, we have a lot of stuff to finish.
