Rivian

• High potential
• Great product
• Some highly skilled, smart, and driven people in the company

• Starting to get too political. Some people try too hard to stand out and constantly bark even though what they say is not helpful.

• Super long hours (60-80+ hrs weekly and no salary/bonus adjustments. New hires, make sure to divide your salary by 60 to get real hourly wages).

• Terrible work-life balance.

• Unnecessarily high hiring spree: 100+ new employees weekly.

• Office is meh (used to be a school).

• Bad snacks and drinks, which directly affects those who work 60+ hours (we need fuel!).

• Some aspects of the vehicle are too focused on design and lacking function. But the design/marketing team doesn't listen to engineers and car enthusiasts.

Execs' opinions should not matter. Let employees do their jobs and stop making it more difficult for them.
