      Decent place to work

      Financial analyst
      Current employee
      Plymouth, MI
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay, stock options decent culture, good people.

      Cons

      Startup culture, very kaotic environment, severely understaffed, disjointed systems, confusion and a lot of fire fighting. No time to strategize....

      Decent work with NO opportunity

      Operations supervisor
      Current employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Decent pay, but you will remain stagnant as bonuses and merits are only paid out in stock. Most folks who have worked here for years are at the same rate of pay *give or take literal change -Management is nice enough and there is a sense of safety in your day to day to be yourself and speak on your ideas

      Cons

      -VERY little opportunity for growth. In most operations positions, you have to count on someone leaving to ever dream of a promotion. -Your pay will likely remain the same no matter how many years you work here. -VERY disorganized in almost every aspect of the business that interacts with operations. Poor tooling creates poor cross functional communication. Poor data tracking tools create unrealistic and skewed metrics. -Work life balance as a leader is nonexistent ESPECIALLY at EOQ. Upper management is texting & slacking late at night and early in the morning (well outside of working hours) with an expectation to respond. Management "thanks" those who are willing to work 40+ hours of OT by giving shoutouts in meetings with no substantial reward system for hard work.

      Pros

      Cons

      Great People, Terrible Strategic Decision. There is a JIRA Project for everything

      Design release engineer
      Current employee
      Irvine, CA
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The great thing about Rivian is that you are able to collaborate with great talent and make good connections. Compensation is good (Base salary, bonus, stock based on company's performance) I was within the first 5000 people when I started at Rivian, at that time it was the best culture I ever experience out, the main values where intact - compass values), but it got really deteriorated with time and those values where not important in the company any more.

      Cons

      Many redundant processes, there is a JIRA project for every workstream in the company, it became really bureaucratic environment, the release process was incredible complex and lengthy, there were more checkers than enablers, there are some teams that feel entitled of things outside of their umbrella of responsibilities and they only held up and delay the processes (i.e. NPI, Manufacturing) the worse part of it is that this was escalated multiple times to upper management and they recognized that was a problem but they did not do anything. Terrible management decisions, to many resources were wasted due to cancellation of multiple programs (millions of dollars), I counted 6 at least. The company leaders are not aligned with the priorities of the company, even the top head... key top priority was cost reduction and there were multiple product decisions taken picking the most expensive solution. The product plan and content complexity is the most complicated I ever seen in my entire career, no pragmatism or common sense... In the manufacturing plan is a disaster, no control or process is followed, nobody follows work instructions, control plan, PFMEA, etc. Useless layers of people in the Vehicle Program Team that their only function is to track a workstream and do not add any value. Moving targets, unrealistic objectives, ridiculous timings.... ufff, and so much more...
