I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Rivian
Interview
Had a hiring manager and 5 virtual on site rounds. I spent so many hours talking to the hiring team only to hear I am not technical enough and I was repeatedly asked about size of the company I come from. There is a senior platform manager and director who were already judging me and not ready to listen when I tried to explain and was rushing through the questions and at the end of all the process I was told I didn’t go in detail on various aspects. If ever get interviewed by him forget this job his only intention was to reject people. I felt there was a bias that I came from company with lesser employee. Overall not worth it to get interviewed here. Overall disappointing. My advice: don’t waste your time here
Dragged on for months with lots of empty promises. By the end the Salary was cut by more than half from when they started. Scaling way too fast for themselves
