Pros

RJ cares a lot about people. I was surprised to run into him in the kitchen a couple months after I started. Not only did he stop to say hello, he knew my name and where I'd come from. Then he offered me half of the peanut butter sandwich he'd just made on his way to his meeting.

That never happened at the last OEM I worked for. The bar is high here and the opportunities are endless for those who are up for the challenge. It felt like a big risk leaving my last job for Rivian, but now I realize the risk was in not taking a chance on this place. I'm doing the most interesting work of my career.

Cons

Leadership needs to keep working at preventing silos that traditionally pop up. From the last few all-hands, it sounds like that is a big focus.
