Pros

CEO RJ Scaringe, is one of the most charismatic, brilliant and focused leaders I have ever had the opportunity to work for; RJ has fostered and maintained a creative, fast acting culture that is second to none. Rivian is a truly authentic, inspiring and empowered environment; from Janitor to CEO, all associates are valued and are relied upon for their personal insight. Making history, instead of watching it go by. Joining Rivian Automotive was a life changing event, the best decision I have ever made!

Cons

Wading through the sea of ordinary people and conventional ideas that are determined to see us fail.
