      What an Adventure!

      Pros

      Rivian is the best part of every job I ever had... X10. There is an infectious buzz in every office (a buzz I'm missing during our Shelter in Place COVID era!). At first I thought it was a "honeymoon" stage - but it's not. People at Rivian LOVE the product! The excitement about what we are embarking upon is obvious. The ability to make an impact is immense – I believe this is what makes working here the most exciting. RJ often says "We are building a truck while we are driving it". We are building processes, tools, organizations, programs... and amazing EV's – thoughtfully and with purpose! Being part of this foundation is extremely exciting. To be part of an organization that is transparent, diverse, smart, opinionated (yet respectful) and challenging (in all the good ways – ways that foster innovation) leaves me feeling extremely grateful and humbled.

      Cons

      With a company ramping at the rate we are, and driving towards launch, the only constant is change. This isn't a con to me, but it may be to some that don't embrace change and realize that it's part of the evolution of a company and product.

      A job that requires sacrifice

      Pros

      Most of my coworkers are wonderful and all of us share common values. If you somehow can ignore the dysfunction and the lack of communication and invisible corporate culture it’s a great place.

      Cons

      No clear progression in roles or compensation. No formalized corporate communication structure - very little formalized corporate structures at all - like virtually no HR! It’s all coming soon but right now it’s chaotic.

      Thanks for your review. As a tenured member of Rivian, I’m sure you’ve seen firsthand the growing pains that come with our pace of growth and how challenging it is to ensure communication is as effective across 2,000 people as it was across 200. Knowing that, we are building our HR and Internal communication teams to support our rapidly increasing needs. We are optimistic that you’ll see these scale related problems addressed with new programs rolled out this year. Please take advantage of our new feedback channels, including reaching out to our People Team or anyone of our executives. Thanks again, the Rivian Team.

      Pros

      Great People - Smart, hard-working, humble team Strong Leadership - CEO is a visionary leader and hardest working person at the company Product - The vehicles are game-changers that are going to increase the rate of EV adoption in product segments that are the highest polluting.

      Cons

      Work/Life Balance - With such ambitious goals and timelines employees must be fully committed to the organization to be successful. Creating something great is never easy.
