Pros
I wanted to work at Rivian for that start-up atmosphere with some of the best automotive thinkers in the Industry, and it has not disappointed. Rivian's core principles foster a learning environment filled with responsibility and accountability that you wouldn't get at an already established organization. Additionally, working for RJ is a blast and you will find no other leader that truly knows the work and how it should function. With his hands-on management style, the team takes on multiple hats which breeds a beauty of a cross-functional organization. Furthermore unlike any other company I've seen, fun is a real thing at Rivian. Teammates get together often for lunch, but also after work or on weekends to hang out. The friendly culture extends outside of the workplace and to the families. Beer fridays are a common occurrence- families included.
Kontras
As Rivian is still working through initial processes, questions arise on how decisions are made.
