Pros

Let me explain. Rivian is on a mission to electrify the next generation of transport, and this means it's on a mission to solve a lot of critical problems on the forefront of many disciplines: supply chain, battery tech, software efficiency, and autonomous driving. If you are laser-focused in any of these disciplines and have a passion to solve these problems and contribute to this mission, this is the right place for you!

Cons

You have to really love the problems you are working on so as not to be phased by the following cons:

  • Uncompetitive salaries and promotion cycles
  • Unfavorable work-life balance
  • Mostly in-person work
  • Not many perks, such as meals or company events
Advice to Management

Clarity on career progression in terms of promotion cycles and pay raises. There are many personal examples where it's been based on the bias of the manager, or due to pressure from other offers.
