      Pros

      Great mission, cool product, stable backing. If you like collecting a paycheck without having to contribute, this might be the place for you.

      Cons

      Everything. This company is 10+ years behind on technology. If you expect to work on cutting edge tech, this is not the company for you. Their desire to protect their trade secrets create a culture of silo knowledge and fragmented tech stacks. The IT department is probably the worst that I've had the displeasure of working with. The company suffers from all the problems of a giant corporation and a tiny startup with none of the benefits of either. If you dig through their LinkedIn, you'll find that a large portion of their employees are people who washed out of Tesla. Trying to quit was like trying to cancel a cable tv subscription. It is really bad when there is a team of people dedicated specifically to trying to talk you out of leaving. Really disappointing.

      Pros

      Compared to other large EV companies i've worked at, Rivian does the best at ensuring they take care of their employees and their well-being. Cross functional teams are collaborative and friendly. You don't need to feel intimidated to speak to C level- they are so nice and caring (at the Tesla factory, you were asked to not make eye contact with Elon). The Recruiting team does a good job of screening for culture fit and if you make it through and later reveal you are not a team player, you will be exited. Start up mentality is expected- long hours but epitome of "Work hard, play hard" culture. Unlimited PTO for salaried workers and people actually take it! The company encourages adventure and to go enjoy the world we are looking to save. Overall, best company i've worked at! And the products are AWESOME.

      Cons

      Can't think of any! Everyone here is amazing.
