Process
Longest interview process I have ever seen:
- Telephonic interview with the Director (who approached me) and Manager, which lasted around 45 minutes, with technical and behavioral questions.
- Onsite HR orientation at Lovonia, which lasted around 2 hours. This included a facility tour, review of the company, policies, and employee benefits. (At this point, I was thinking maybe they were ready to offer me?)
- Then came the invitation for another all-day onsite interview, which I denied since I realized they did not value my time. (This was the deal-breaker.)
People in this company seem to be fairly inexperienced when it comes to the interview process (although they have been around since 2009).
When approaching a candidate, they need to realize the value of time, since some people are losing money by taking time off from their current jobs.

Awesome exposure to the big picture

Pros: Rivian has created a creative and collaborative culture that reflects the positive and opportunistic attitude of their CEO. Every employee is immersed in the company's strategy and has an equal opportunity to contribute towards successful execution. New ideas are evaluated based on their merit, instead of blindly following the legacy processes established by the automotive industry.
From a "perks" standpoint, there is a stocked snack cupboard and ample room to run your RC car outside. Vacation schedules are flexible to accommodate any reasonable request. Also, the occasional tossing of the football outside helps to keep the creative juices flowing.
Cons: In a company with constantly evolving ideas and processes, it takes the right personality to embrace the power of change. The perpetual change can be seen as frustrating until you commit yourself to the process of continuous improvement.
