      Honestly people need to calm down

      Pros

      Yes RJ is a nice guy. Many of my coworkers are nice normal people.

      Cons

      It’s the kind of place where you need to be very careful what you say if you have any criticisms or problems. Dissent is not tolerated. You either are 110% committed or nothing. Other than that it’s pretty standard. Office move to Palo Alto shows that there is little concern for who’s currently here - all in the quest for better tech talent.

      Hi there, thanks for posting your review. We’re glad to hear you’ve made positive connections on your team and with RJ. With respect to your concerns in flagging issues/problems, it is disappointing to learn that you believe constructive feedback is unwelcome. As we’re sure you’ve seen, scaling at this pace, has introduced a number of speedbumps, one of which is clear and effective internal communications - including recognizing that we could have communicated our office move more effectively. We hope that you’ll continue to be part of our journey at Rivian. As we build these feedback infrastructures across the organization and in our People teams, please reach out to anyone on our team with concerns. Thanks again, Rivian Team

      Exciting, fast paced start-up developing cutting edge technology

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.

      Good place to grow and learn but no good benefits

      Software engineer

      Pros

      Lot's to learn at Rivian, really fast paced.

      Cons

      I was hired and told the yearly compensation program is being instituted but that's a farce. There is no yearly equity/bonus. The management keeps dodging the question, when asked about yearly bonus/equity refresher. It's more like they are not transparent. They have a formal 1:1 called recharge, which people hardly follow. My advice to people, is if they are at the place where work is aggressive and fast paced and you can grow, do not come here. The equities offered here is peanuts. Also a note the good reviews in here are all done by the people's team, so do not trust all the good reviews.
