Avantages
All of the hard work, energy, and talent of a giant company without any of the bureaucracy or office politics! Rivian is still very much in startup mode, and there are still few employees. But the work environment is the best I've ever experienced. The place is stacked with talented people from the bottom to the top, and everyone encourages and helps each other to get the job done. The corporate mission is inspiring and makes you want to come to work every day to help the company's vision become a reality (sorry... have to be vague due to disclosure issues).
Inconvénients
As with any startup, not all of the systems or processes are fully developed, and that can sometimes slow things down. But if you get discouraged by that kind of thing, Rivian is not the place for you because we need people who can work through the challenges of setting up these things from scratch.
