I applied online. I interviewed at Rivian (Palo Alto, CA) in May 2022
Interview
Screening, then 5 panel interview with folks from different departments. The interviews were spread over a 1 day period and for me they were over zoom. Overall it was a long day.
It starts OK , but more like HR problem moving forward. Not professional , lack of internal connection/communication. Feels like biased. Takes long time to reply. Negative experience. Hiring Manger not available.
