Pros

Some of the employees work very hard and want nothing but the betterment of Rivian. A few managers are actually good leaders. Lots of time to contemplate the decisions that led you to this point in your life, and ask yourself where you went wrong. The engineers are great people to work with.

Cons

Most employees don't do their job. The few managers worth keeping are overshadowed by the ones that want everything done their way, and do not care about stepping on someone else's toes. Constant downtime. Most of my 12 hour shifts consisted of 3 - 10 hours of our machines and robots being down every reason under the sun. Management then blames the team members for lack of production. I've never worked for a more disorganized company in my life. Far too many managers and not enough employees that actually care about their job.

Pros

Great products, great vision from the CEO and senior leaders.

Cons

Mid/Regional management are mostly younger inexperienced people who are trying to make a name for themselves. Unfortunately this has resulted in disgusting office politics and self-serving leadership.
