Pros

-I worked for a big corporation for 10 years prior to taking the leap to Rivian. The creativity and desire to make awesome products at Rivian is unmatched. -Compensation is great. -Co-workers are helpful and wanting to collaborate daily. -I want to come to work to make a difference (couldn't say that about my previous job) -Food is catered often (Food Trucks, Panera, Chipotle, etc.) -Beer Thursday (Rivian Social: once a month) -Family and friends are encouraged to come see what we are doing (with a signed NDA, of course)

Cons

The company is growing very fast and the onboarding process is long.

Pros

I have spent 20+ years in the automotive sector and cannot imagine going back to that silo enriched, vanilla work environment again. I made the decision to work at Rivian for several reasons, foremost the leadership, forward thinking business plan and flat out "fun"! I'm very fortunate to have the opportunity to be part of this hand selected tactical team of highly talented, motivated "Rock Stars"

Cons

Still searching for that Kryptonite

Pros

I recently made the move to join Rivian from a technology company. At first, I was very hesitant to make a move to join an automotive company (since I've never worked in one before) but after hearing about what Rivian is doing, along with meeting some very smart people that work here and sitting down with leadership it made my decision pretty easy to make a move once an offer came along. Very fun environment where you can interact with everyone from engineers to C-level on a very casual level. We're also a flat organization without a ton of hierarchy so your voice can be heard. If you have a great idea - bring it up! It's likely that you can present it right to leadership and have a great discussion on how to implement your ideas.

Cons

Fast moving and can be ambiguous at times, but what startup isn't? You could be working on something for a couple of weeks only to learn that needs have shifted. You have to be ok with working in a flexible environment and putting in hours to make it work here.
