Rivian reviews

I've always loved that Mr. Rogers quote...“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” I joined Rivian because it's an organization of helpers. First responders in the form of designers and engineers, scientists and fabricators, accountants and laborers, surfers, mountain bikers, snowboarders, hikers, great-outdoors-loving people who run towards a problem rather than wait for someone else to solve it. I joined Rivian because it's not enough to look for helpers, it's more important than ever to be one of them. I have a hard time telling people I work for a car company because I think cars are the least impressive thing RJ has built/is building (which is saying a lot because those vehicles are super cool.) What he's done so selflessly, so relentlessly, is build the kind of organization that attracts big hearted people with overflowing ambition who stubbornly want to leave this planet better than they found it. He's given us the tools and space and leadership to do the impossible. Most importantly, he's in the thick of it with us. His humility is unmatched. His optimism is contagious. I cannot wait to see what this company does next and I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this team at this very moment in our story. But we have a lot of work to do and we're going to need more helpers!

Rivian has developed a strong internal culture, with some of the strongest teamwork I have experienced in the workplace. People are dedicated, driven and pulling together, because the product and the overall proposition are so exciting. As an engineer, this is a motivating company to work for. There are multiple engineering projects underway, new technologies and a constant drive to innovate. As a result, there is always new interesting work to sink your teeth into. The leadership team is constantly looking for bidirectional feedback and striving to better themselves and the company. Employees are offered many opportunities to develop individually with new challenges always available. Finally, with the company’s success, it is inevitable that it will need to grow quickly. The emphasis on recruitment not only focusing on strong technical capability, but also cultural fit means that your colleagues are always intelligent, friendly, engaged, and easy to work with. I don’t believe there is a more exciting place to work.
