Pros: Still have work, working on edge tech.

Cons: Not getting enough credit and slow.

Pros: Rivian really cares about the environment and the culture it is building. This is driven by the CEO, and he backs his words with actions. The CTO and some of the senior leadership were recently let go. This kind of decision shows that the company is committed to its culture and what we are building. The direction is clear, and the mood is strong (reviews stating otherwise are just not true). We have a lot to do, and this makes for a fast-paced and fun environment.

Cons: Timelines are aggressive as we work toward launch, and a lot of hours are needed.

Pros: For periods of time while working at Rivian, the work was stimulating. Some of the people are genuinely invested in the vision of electrification and take pride in their work.

Cons: Many projects were spun up by directors without VP approval, leading to them ultimately being shut down. Most of the people I worked with were primarily out to make a name for themselves with resume projects that did not translate to real business value. The culture was pretty awful. It is constant chaos with no real sense of direction.
