Pros
When I started, I absolutely love it! I was empowered, had an amazing boss and team. Rivian spends so much money on employees - private jets, free lunch and dinner.. facility is amazing in Illinois. RJ is very engaged with every department. I was exceeding performance expectations on every quarterly review. I was working 14-16 hour days but I didn’t mind. Then I was blind sided.
Cons
I was let go with zero warning and they refused to give me a reason. No disciplinary action, write ups - only ‘exceeding expectations on every 1:1 and review. Blind sided. And distraught. Seems to be a trend - letting people go with no warnings, write ups or communication. They did the same thing with 3 other leaders that I am aware of. So - if you think you are secure in your job, you are not.
