Not a place worth going to
Not a place worth going to
Learn a lot Fast-paced Competitive salary
Poor management on all levels. Inexperienced CEO. Leadership team that doesn't know how to scale. Racism and sexism are rampant in the factory. Extremely unbalanced workloads. Few people actually get things done; lots of people say, "I did my job and am not responsible." No stability, multiple layoffs. No stability; layoffs of employees who have been there for over a year occur weeks after converting contractors.
Hire better management.
Stop hiring Germans from large OEMs. They have no idea how to scale a new company.
Treat employees with respect and distribute the workload evenly.
Replace the CEO with someone who can scale a post-IPO company.

Rivian Interview Questions
Rivian Interview Experiences
Sr. Engineer
Panel interview with a standard set of questions. This looks for traits and how comfortable you are with problem-solving. The team was focused on whether you are able to handle a complex situation.
Vehicle Integration Engineer
The interview went through each of the portions in the job description. I needed to expand on experience in defining safety-critical designs, how to make manufacturing more efficient, troubleshooting processes, etc.
Engineering Intern
The interview felt average overall. I thought it went well at the time, but I was ultimately rejected without receiving any feedback. This left me uncertain about areas for improvement. Nothing was too difficult to answer.
