Pros
Rivian has some of the best talent working to shape the future of the EV industry. This is an example of what happens when some of the smartest and most driven folks come together to make something truly special. The culture of Rivian is professional, while rooted in outdoorsiness and fun. Building electric adventure vehicles is something that many at Rivian are truly passionate about. Our professional culture of "one mission, one company" is driven home from the top down. RJ Scaringe is a fantastic leader and an inspirational speaker. He regularly shares the latest information on vehicle development, commercial launch, and broader strategy with the whole company which makes everyone feel involved.
Cons
The task at hand is incredibly large. Rivian is a fast-paced company by nature. There will always be more to do, things to do better, and new opportunities. As such, the pace is fast and employees are expected to keep up. Nothing in my experience has been unreasonable, but dedication and a willingness to do what it takes to see a task through are requirements to work at Rivian.
