I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rivian (Irvine, CA) in Jan 2026
Interview
Phone screen and hiring manager interview then panel interview. Interview test of programming knowledge and situational questions. Asked a lot about C++. Leadership clearly doesn’t understand the release process and I felt like it was a group of inexperienced people releasing vehicle software.
First got HR call, there were two calls which was strange and took around one month to schedule the following meeting.
Then online code test with staff engineer from US.
I interviewed at Rivian (Belgrade, Central Serbia)
Interview
HR + 1 technical with hiring manager + 2 live coding, all went well and pleasant, they were really professional and made me feel relaxed during the process. They were also helpful during the interview when i could not remember some things
