Staff Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
A recruiter sent a link to schedule a quick call.
I received an automated invite and a link to join on the scheduled appointment.
The recruiter never joined.
A week later, they reached out with the excuse that they were on vacation, offering no apology.
They then suggested another call and subsequently ghosted.
No wonder the stock is plummeting; their employees are nothing more than rude, unprofessional kids with big egos.
Questions
Can we talk at the end of the week? 1 PM?

Rivian Work Experiences
- 1.0Startup arrogance and EEO audit, pleaseStaff Engineer • Former EmployeeIrvine, California, United StatesNovember 16, 2024Pros: RSUs (stock price, though), salary, generally interesting product, smart engineers.Cons: God-complex with some management, ‘yo-bro’ culture in many teams, strategic vision falling apart, quality issues, financial performance tanking, high layoff rates. Rivian should be audited by EEO – the number of visa employees who they have complete control over is crazy. 80+% in many departments. These employees cannot say no or question anything without fear of visa implications. Employees finally are a flash in the pan here – do not expect anything long term from a personal sanity nor from a company solvency perspective.
