Pros

Amazing, diverse team. Often challenging but always fun - I never stop learning. This company is sincerely trying to move EV's forward in a thoughtful, intelligent way and growing fast - a unique and exhilarating ride.

Cons

The organizational process needs work given the constant growth of the company

Pros

Most of my coworkers are wonderful and all of us share common values. If you somehow can ignore the dysfunction and the lack of communication and invisible corporate culture it’s a great place.

Cons

No clear progression in roles or compensation. No formalized corporate communication structure - very little formalized corporate structures at all - like virtually no HR! It’s all coming soon but right now it’s chaotic.

Thanks for your review. As a tenured member of Rivian, I’m sure you’ve seen firsthand the growing pains that come with our pace of growth and how challenging it is to ensure communication is as effective across 2,000 people as it was across 200. Knowing that, we are building our HR and Internal communication teams to support our rapidly increasing needs. We are optimistic that you’ll see these scale related problems addressed with new programs rolled out this year. Please take advantage of our new feedback channels, including reaching out to our People Team or anyone of our executives. Thanks again, the Rivian Team.

Pros

A business worth fighting for with incredible leaders and committed employees

Cons

There’s morale issues on some teams. With growth we have lost the ability to hire people that share our vision. Not everyone needs to drink tons of kool aid but it helps because that’s all we have.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We truly appreciate your vote of confidence in leadership and your committed colleagues. We’re incredibly fortunate to have gathered such a competent group of people. We are optimistic that the addition of new talent and investment in programs that create more robust recruiting approaches to ensure all Rivians, share our vision and passion. It’s very challenging to recreate the feeling of a small team at our current size and scale, however, we are striving to maintain the feeling of being connected to a large team trying to make a real difference in the sustainable future of transportation. Thanks, the Rivian Team
