Pros

Good benefits. CEO great and other departments seem good.

Cons

Cliquey upper management in facilities design Unrealistic deadlines and toxic management style from some of the senior staff. Over qualified designers given redundant work with little autonomy or respect for experience. Hours make salary usually less than prior positions at interiors firms.

Hello, I am committed to building highly effective teams that empower each team member to do meaningful work that truly makes an impact. The experience you have shared is counter to the culture of belonging we’re trying to create and has no place at Rivian. If you’re comfortable, I invite you to reach out to me directly or via one of our internal feedback channels so we can look into this further as we have to be sure that the behaviors of all our team members are consistent with our values. You can also reach out to your local People Partner, our 24/7 anonymous hotline, or even contact Helen, our Chief People Officer. Hope to hear from you soon, Jimmy Knauf VP, Facilities

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
