Pros

A business worth fighting for with incredible leaders and committed employees

Cons

There’s morale issues on some teams. With growth we have lost the ability to hire people that share our vision. Not everyone needs to drink tons of kool aid but it helps because that’s all we have.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We truly appreciate your vote of confidence in leadership and your committed colleagues. We’re incredibly fortunate to have gathered such a competent group of people. We are optimistic that the addition of new talent and investment in programs that create more robust recruiting approaches to ensure all Rivians, share our vision and passion. It’s very challenging to recreate the feeling of a small team at our current size and scale, however, we are striving to maintain the feeling of being connected to a large team trying to make a real difference in the sustainable future of transportation. Thanks, the Rivian Team
