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.
