Pros

- Never a dull moment - Developing new technology with a highly efficient team - Fun work culture where everyone is contributing to the success of the program - Fast paced environment where progress can be measured daily instead of quarterly - Not bogged down by bureaucracy - Each employee has a great deal of responsibility to contribute to the team

Cons

- It's a start-up , so it is expected that you will be providing value to the organization. If you aren't, you won't fit in here. - Each individual has a greater degree of responsibility than a typical large organization, this can either be empowering or debilitating depending on your mindset.

Pros

Environment: The company believes in and fosters teamwork, and strives to be uplifting in the way it treats people. Curiosity is encouraged, and the opportunities to stretch are openly available. There is constant effort on big picture focus. Work: With the automotive industry on the brink of a series of major disruptions, the company is actively engaged in developing technology and business solutions that address not only today's automotive needs, but anticipates also the needs of a future with massive potential. Rivian is engaged in business, engineering, manufacturing, data science, and R&D activity in areas including autonomous driving, large-scale rechargeable batteries, Mobility as a Service. People: The company sets a very high bar when it comes to asking skilled and knowledgeable people to join its ranks. In addition, they must have the additional qualities of treating people with respect, being progress-oriented, having active listening skills, thinking big, allowing first principles and values to drive actions. Of course, hiring mistakes are occasionally made, but the company appears to react very quickly when they do occur.

Cons

Mid and lower-level goals are constantly shifting to accommodate the dynamic natures of a start-up companies and major industries undergoing significant changes, which can lead to a lack of rigidity of assignment definitions and their deadlines. The company has an unlimited vacation policy.

Dedicated, agile, experienced team, work is fast paced and there is opportunity for Rock Stars. And yes, there are Rock Star salaries.

Cons

There can be a feeling of chaos at times however the main purposes are usually clear and you just have to accept it. Schedules are changed and you may be asked to deliver goods to meet the schedules.
