Pros

In the beginning, it was incredible. Rivian took care of its employees - food, office, pay - everything was exceptional. They had a strong culture and lived by core values for a short while.

Cons

Select individuals seemed to be exempt from the core values. The fight for power and ownership of things was not good, especially on product and data engineering. They lacked a strong Project Management Office. Rivian over hired in every department and caused chaos between the business, data and product teams. Everyone was stepping on each others toes.

Pros

No weekends, decent pay, unlimited pto

Cons

RSMs are clueless. Ran like a tech start up, not an automotive company. Multiple layoffs. Relying on AI to mass layoff more employees.
