I was contacted by a recruiter and had a phone screen with a member of the team. This was followed by a 2.5-hour series of interviews with three people, conducted back to back.

The interview itself was not bad. Personally, I don't believe I was a good fit for the team, so I am not surprised I didn't get the job. However, I have had no contact from the recruiter or anyone from Rivian since the day of my interview. I spoke with the recruiter directly after the interview, and she said she would let me know either way, but I never heard back.

I understand this is a growing company with aggressive market deadlines, but it is very unprofessional to leave candidates hanging like this. It is very telling of the direction this company is moving in.

What would you do if you don't know the answer to something?

Where would you go if you didn't have other design professionals in the company to help you figure out a problem?
