Pros

I can’t think of any.

Cons

Terrible management driven purely by politics. The ones that are good at with the sweets talks (but not actions) are often promoted. Lots of hire and fire. People are often let go for no legitimate reason.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m very sorry that your experience with Rivian wasn’t all you’d hoped for. As part of my role here as Chief People Officer, I’m committed to helping Rivian be an environment where impact is what’s rewarded; actually walking the walk vs. only talking the talk. For the few months I’ve been here I’ve been very encouraged by how universal this view is across the leadership team. Though I can see you are a former employee, please reach out to anyone on the People team so that we may be able to learn more. Thank you, Helen.
