Avantages
Outstanding work culture, perks, people and pay. I've never worked at any place with such hardworking and teamwork-oriented mindsets. The opportunities at Rivian are endless for those with the aptitude and determination to apply themselves. Alongside that, beats working for a company where for once, you can see the fruits of your hard work by watching happy customers take home some awesome vehicles that everyone had a part in creating.
Inconvénients
Being that it's a start up company, I had forseen long hours and weekends to occur, however, not in such high frequency. I have a family at home that I barely get to see anymore and it's destroying me mentally having to put the bulk of the workload at home on my fiancé since I practically live at work. Sadly, we were all sold the lie about a healthy Work-Life balance that Rivian touted at our Onboarding Process and it feels like the only way you can make that happen is if you pour gasoline on your vacation time and set it on fire, after that has been exhausted, you're pretty much screwed. The work life balance they touted is the main reason I came here because my previous job had me working hours similar to this and it wasn't working out well with my daughter being born recently. I feel my employment here slowly dwindling by the day since finding a babysitter to watch my daughter whilst I work long hours and weekends constantly is what is consuming my vacation here and it hurts because I really want to stay employed here but I find it challenging to fulfill the requirements they set out for us.
