Pros

I grew up in Michigan and always said I'd never work for a automotive company. They seemed slow and bureaucratic, but this is very different. My position at Rivian is a dream job. I get to work with bright, hardworking people - all aligned on building an incredible company.

Cons

If you want to build an incredible company in an industry experiencing rapid change, you have to be flexible. We face ambiguity on a daily basis, and if you're not comfortable with ambiguity you won't enjoy Rivian.

Pros

All of the hard work, energy, and talent of a giant company without any of the bureaucracy or office politics! Rivian is still very much in startup mode, and there are still few employees. But the work environment is the best I've ever experienced. The place is stacked with talented people from the bottom to the top, and everyone encourages and helps each other to get the job done. The corporate mission is inspiring and makes you want to come to work every day to help the company's vision become a reality (sorry... have to be vague due to disclosure issues).

Cons

As with any startup, not all of the systems or processes are fully developed, and that can sometimes slow things down. But if you get discouraged by that kind of thing, Rivian is not the place for you because we need people who can work through the challenges of setting up these things from scratch.

Pros

I wanted to work at Rivian for that start-up atmosphere with some of the best automotive thinkers in the Industry, and it has not disappointed. Rivian's core principles foster a learning environment filled with responsibility and accountability that you wouldn't get at an already established organization. Additionally, working for RJ is a blast and you will find no other leader that truly knows the work and how it should function. With his hands-on management style, the team takes on multiple hats which breeds a beauty of a cross-functional organization. Furthermore unlike any other company I've seen, fun is a real thing at Rivian. Teammates get together often for lunch, but also after work or on weekends to hang out. The friendly culture extends outside of the workplace and to the families. Beer fridays are a common occurrence- families included.

Cons

As Rivian is still working through initial processes, questions arise on how decisions are made.
