      Interview

      HR telephonic interview. 45mins of technical phone interview with Senior Engineer. 45mins of coding exercise. 5-45mins of virtual interview. Overall it was a waste of time, they have no idea what skills they are looking for.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rivian in Aug 2025

      Interview

      Interviewed at the CA location somewhere. The interviewer was younger and he seemed new there. Was more nervous than me honestly. Honestly did not like the experience because I could have done better and I was just thinking through the problems but he just assumed I didn't know and just gave me hints to solve it. Also, the way he asked questions did not make sense and I was trying to clarify and he again just assumed that I didn't know it seems like. I was excited for this opportunity, I wish that I had a better interviewer.
