      Toxic work environment

      Pros

      Taking away hard lessons for what to look for as red flags in future job opportunities . I’m currently looking to leave and there are many red flags here to learn from

      Cons

      Where to begin? a lot of toxic people, a facade of brand values that management doesn’t really stand behind, employee discrimination and harassment is perpetuated, no work life balance and unqualified talent. Real talent will, and should, run away fast. Also, HR and management will turn a blind eye to mistreatment of employees

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m very sorry that you’ve had the kind of experience that not only gives you this impression of Rivian, but that you’re also considering ending your journey with us. We are currently establishing ways to open communication and feedback channels, which will enable us to effectively raise and escalate concerns. As Chief People Officer, I can assert that employee mistreatment, discrimination, or harassment of any kind would never be knowingly tolerated here. You’ve raised some very serious concerns here and we would like to have an opportunity to improve your individual situation. If you haven’t already reached out to your local People Partner or myself, please do so as soon as you can. Thanks in advance, Helen.

      Pros

      The mission. The people. The leader. The spirit. The energy. The product. The technology. The optimism. The teamwork. The brainpower. The excitement. The impact. The future.

      Cons

      I believe in the bigger mission so the small stuff that bothers other people doesn't really get to me. You may hear people complain about the rate of speed or the timelines or some the discomforts that come with scaling and growing and executing an ambitious plan. Not sure what to say about that... no one should expect working here to be easy or to always travel in a straight line. Being part of a team that's literally changing the landscape of transportation is a once in a lifetime opportunity. If you're the kind of person that needs everything pre-packaged and perfectly ordered, maybe Rivian is not for you.

      An exciting company building something new

      Pros

      If you are bored with an established existing business and looking for a challenge, Rivian is for you. The company is growing very fast to achieve an audacious goal of starting a new automotive manufacturing company. It's a fresh start to build a new business model, question why we are doing something instead of just repeating what has been done before. There's a wealth of really talented smart people to learn from and be inspired by. During challenging parts of the process I lean into being uncomfortable and reach out to teammates to discuss solutions. There's a common goal of working together. The amount of professional growth I've experienced here in one year is equivalent to the seven years at my previous job. It's a unique opportunity I'm grateful to be a part of.

      Cons

      It's easy to lose focus on why challenges exist as symptoms of a fast growing company. It's easy to focus on why things are wrong instead of what it will take to make Rivian succeed. If looking for a solution is not a natural habit, you may struggle here. It took me some time to work past this. If you are very curious, you'll need to manage this properly. I could spend a week learning about what other teams are working on or doing. It's easy to get derailed on your core focus, learning about something new. It's not really a con for me. I love it — just something to be aware of if you struggle with self-regulation.
