Rivian reviews

Where to begin without giving away confidential information? Let’s just say things are not going exactly to plan. During the shutdown they promised no layoffs which was great. Then they announced they fired 40 people for performance reasons. Why could they not wait until things settled and why announce it’s for perforence why throw shine on people your terminating during the crisis. Why even announce it? Then the move to Irvine which is starting to look like a method to reduce the number of product design people who will not want to move because we need less of them now. Then there’s the Tesla accusations and all of a sudden we’re not the good guys. But the cherry on top for me is the SVP Product and Engineering (who hired me) and is an auto legend literally disappeared one day and a few days later we are told there is a new guy coming to dave us. All this while we work incredible hours for no bonus and a dubious stock plan. Get the picture you’ll find me in LinkedIn open for roles

Forced travel to Normal IL with no consideration about you’re time at home the things you used to do after work will no longer happen because management doesn’t care about what you have to do. Horrible micro management and putting fear it employees minds if they don’t listen to what is told to due. Bigger problem is that everyone’s worked together before at either Tesla or bigger companies around the Bay Area so if you aren’t part of their group you will have a hard time fitting in.
