Pros

Helping to reduce emissions and create a sustainable future....... are here for fame and will kill anyone in their way

Cons

On a day to day basis its just a job - but its a much nicer environment than a disaster many of us came from (sounds like F A Day). As Rivianites the pay is average. There’s no bonus. You get a little stock, health care is standard. Basically it is what it is - kinda cheap as it should be. Some people are cheerleaders and they think we’re curing cancer. Then we have the polar opposites who are here looking for fame and fortune and will kill you if you get in their way. My advice to my friends is do your job and don’t expect too much.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Glad to hear you feel connected with our environmental mission. If you’re seeing or personally experiencing aggressive or non-inclusive behavior, please reach out to your manager, local People Partner, or myself. Behavior you have described is absolutely not tolerated and we hope you give us the opportunity to look into and resolve the matter. (I know you made other points--and they don’t paint an overly inspiring picture so I’d appreciate discussing with you to see if there’s a way to improve how you feel about your situation.) Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks again, Helen, Chief People Officer

Pros

- Great exposure to the product - Amazing teammates, boots on the ground collaboration - Onboarding is really well done - they take this part seriously and I appreciate that.

Cons

- Limited growth - Constantly worried whether your department is getting laid off. - I've worked at plenty of other startups and EV companies and this one is by far the worst. - Zero job security unless you're JR
