I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Rivian (Livonia, MI)
Interview
Longest interview process I have ever seen:
1. Telephonic interview with Director (who approached me) and Manager which lasted around 45mins with technical and behavioral questions.
2. Onsite HR orientation at Lovonia which lasted around 2hrs. This included facility tour, review of company, policies and employee benefits. (At this point I was thinking maybe they are ready to offer me?)
3. Then came the invitation for another onsite all day interview which I denied since I realised they did not value my time. (which was the deal breaker)
People in this company seem to be fairly inexperienced when it comes to the interview process (although they have been around since 2009)
When approaching someone as a candidate, they need to realize value of time since some people are losing money for taking time off from their current jobs.
Extensive process that requires multiple stages, although very effective. Progressive methods and thoughtfulness was included in their process. Will recommend for any begineer, intermediate or experienced proffessional. Practise will help a lot
brief and concise. one interview with recruiter, one with manager and one panel interview with engineer on the team for 45 minutes.
Talked about my resume and college experiences. talked about senior design project from undergrad school.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Rivian? Technical questions from my presentation.
Not complex. HR screening followed by a series of one on one interviews. Nothing too technical. Hr screening covered the basics, salary, team. Rivian salary and total compensation was well below competition.
