Straight forward discussion, more casual rather than pre-made questions, really enjoyed this approach. Had questions answered by knowledgeable people. Started with HR member and then hiring manager. Setup first with phone call and background type check with HR prior to actual phone interview.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Rivian (Sacramento, CA) in May 2026
Interview
Short, Rushed, and inconclusive. The hiring team asked a few questions in regards to the job. 2nd interview was scheduled within the same week. The recruiter sent a follow up text message but then there was no follow up.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rivian
Interview
I had a few interviews that went well. In the third interview, they said they wanted me to move to the next round and described the next interviewer in detail as well as what the rest of the process would look like. They said they’d reach out to schedule in a few days and then I never heard anything again. I followed up to check in and didn’t receive a reply. Totally understand that things may change, but a response would have been appreciated.
