Climbing the Mountain

Pros

I joined Rivian seven months ago for three key reasons; (1) great culture, (2) amazing products! and (3) the perfect career trajectory for me. Although there is an incredible amount of work to do, it's refreshing to see an eclectic group of experienced professionals come together with common goals along with such positivity. We are doing great things and I've never been so excited to make an impact and execute. There is great energy in our offices. I literally love my job. Although we are scaling rapidly, there is very little bureaucracy. Many of the teams are quite horizontal and people are treated equally, which is very important to me. No one is inaccessible and everyone seems eager to attack issues, not each other.

Cons

Working at Rivian isn't for everyone. It's challenging and you have to work hard (but work/life balance is promoted). To be successful, some key traits are evident: humble/selfless, dedicated, ambitious, entrepreneurial, collaborative. This is not a place to work if you care more about your own goals than your team's. You have to have the energy to put in long hours and climb the mountain!

Impact, opportunity, and growth

Pros

Even before we've delivered a vehicle, Rivian is changing the automotive industry, and we get to be a part of that. As the company scales rapidly, there is massive opportunity for talented people to take on more responsibility. If you bring an ownership mindset and are ready for the long climb ahead of us, you'll grow your skills through experience that's hard to find anywhere else. This is still a workplace (not a family), but the company has a humanity that keeps us focused on doing right by people during difficult situations. This flows from who RJ is and how much he cares about people.

Cons

We work hard. That's a con for some people. If you want to have impact, opportunity, and growth, expect to work hard.
