Bad managers + bad culture

Pros

Rivian is trying to solve some interesting and tough problems. Rivian has some really smart and great people who are willing to work hard and go after mission impossible

Cons

Managers are YES-MANs to their managers. They don't care about IC's career growth and just want to make themselves look good. Career advancement is entirely based on how your managers feel about you. It has nothing to do with how your teammates and partners feel about you. Plus, there is no formal performance review. In order to get a promotion, you have to master flattering people. The company doesn't appreciate employees. People burnt out and got frustrated all the time. Plus, the compensation isn't that good at Rivian.

Pros

CEO RJ is good, I joined Rivian because of his innovation and vision because I love cars. Nothing as of I know, line managers and teams are not set correctly

Cons

I really doubt if line managers and above are capable Leads in the team play blame game if you are a capable resource Lacks team collaboration Work life balance (I work 12 hours everyday still no satisfaction)

Pros

None I can think of. Run. This company will go under but if you must, good luck.

Cons

A lot of people in positions they have no business being in which constantly puts other people in positions they too have no business being in. Disorganization. Terrible communication. Goal posts shifting without said communication. Lack of feedback, positive or negative. Favoritism and discrimination.
