Pros

Rivian really cares about the environment and culture it is building. This is driven by the CEO and he backs his words with actions. The CTO and some of the senior leadership were recently let go. This kind of decision shows that the company is committed to culture and what we are building. Direction is clear and mood is strong (reviews stating otherwise are just not true). We have a lot to do, and this makes for a fast paced and fun environment.

Cons

Timelines are aggressive as we work toward launch, and a lot of hours are needed.

Thank you for your review. I share your belief in Rivian’s vision, in everyone’s commitment to culture, and the demonstrated organizational capacity to make difficult calls when needed. You’re right about the significant amount of work to be done. Please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thanks again, Wassym - Sr. Director Software and Technology

Pros

No weekends, decent pay, unlimited pto

Cons

RSMs are clueless. Ran like a tech start up, not an automotive company. Multiple layoffs. Relying on AI to mass layoff more employees.
