Pros

RSUs (stock price though…), salary, generally interesting product, smart engineers

Cons

God-complex with some management, ‘yo-bro’ culture in many teams, strategic vision falling apart, quality issues, financial performance tanking, high layoff rates. Rivian should be audited by EEO - the number of visa employees who they have complete control over is crazy. 80+% in many depts. These employees cannot say no or question anything without fear of visa implications. Employees finally are a flash in the pan here - do not expect anything long term from a personal sanity nor from company solvency perspective
