Pros

Rivian is the type of company everyone hopes exists, but has trouble believing that it could actually be real. Ive only been at the company for a month, but my experiences have been positive in every way. The company is fast-paced and full of smart, hardworking people. The leadership listens and cares about the employees, while addressing issues head on and promptly making positive changes. Couldn’t be happier.

Cons

It may be hard for some to adjust to the start up culture. The company is growing extremely quickly, which comes with challenges.
