Pros: Exciting work and a fast-paced environment.

Cons: How does a company that prides itself on its culture continue to employ someone who is the former head of compensation at a company that is currently involved in multiple lawsuits and investigations around discrimination, including discriminatory pay practices against women?

Pros: An amazing place to work, friendly people, and a good salary.

Cons: Too much work, sometimes there wasn't clear direction.

Pros: 1. Learning opportunity and a good launchpad to further your career. 2. Business and go-to-market strategy. 3. The Rivian R1T makes a good filter for good-natured people to join the company. However, while I was at the company, I could never find the management following it in spirit. It has been followed strategically and selectively to move the agenda forward and attract talent cheaply. In either case (though deceptive), using a people policy to strategically motivate the team is a better approach. I hope this is only a growing pain and does not become systemic of Rivian.

Cons: 1. The lofty ideals in paper do not materialize in reality. 2. The people's experience of managers is abysmal, very demotivating to an extent that it makes you leave the company. 3. What you did is immaterial if the forces in Irvine/manager could not decipher it. The organization is skewed towards Irvine; it's better to be in their good books. If you are deciding based on this review, try to join the company in Irvine for better visibility and growth.
