Great place to skill up fast as a SWE intern
Great place to skill up fast as a SWE intern
As an intern, you will learn really fast because Rivian has a half-startup/corporate vibe. It's not really a place to just coast around. You'll work on meaningful projects, and it's neither a very big nor small company.
The team is super helpful when you have any uncertainties or questions.
The return offer is a little random and uncertain because of budget and headcount.
Not too applicable as an intern, but work-life balance doesn't seem too great here because Rivian is still trying to survive at the moment. I've seen a couple of engineers leaving the office around 8 PM sometimes.

Rivian Interview Questions
Rivian Interview Experiences
SWE Intern
Reached out on LinkedIn by Hiring Manager. 1-hour LeetCode-style technical interview with senior engineer on the Edge AI/Infotainment System team. Used HackerRank Codepair. Asked questions about general background/experiences.
Software Engineering Intern
The interview consisted of one behavioral and one technical question. The technical portion was split into a project presentation and a very doable Python question. The interviewers were kind, and the company seemed to have a good work culture.
Software Engineer
Asked questions about projects on the resume, and then went into a LeetCode easy/medium C problem. Gave decent advice and help during the process and allowed time to talk about the problem after finishing the assessment.
