Pros

all the overtime you want! and then 12 more hours! great team leads, INCREADABLE Cafeteria , outstanding onboarding good pay GENEROUS RSO's , bonuses and ESP WONDERFUL CORPERATE MISSION AMAZING product Especially considering the lack of automotive history of the founder and the leadership

Cons

all the overtime you want and then 12 more hours you didn't. I tried to reach out to HR through "the propper channels" nd3 days later had to follow up because no one reached back out. by the time someone id replay, and I'd explained the issue a 2nd time, I didn't hear anything , NOTHING for over a week. By the time I heard back from anyone it was the "you have been terminated" email because I didn't go in and gave up on calling in every day after 9 days and not getting any support. My issue? I couldn't physically continue to work general assembly, leaning into and out of the vehicles 5 times, bending , kneeling at odd angles, for 12 hour shifts and was trying to get an accommodation to do something less physically stressful for part of my shift. I was so excited to be part of Rivian and SO disappointed with their HR's Not relaying my concern from my first attempt, then leaving me hanging for over a week after I talked to them again.

abysmal salary for the sales team. high turn over. company is still VERY young. And there are a lot of growing pains. Not real strong middle management team (especially in sales)
