Pros
Rivian has created a creative and collaborative culture that reflects the positive and opportunistic attitude of their CEO. Every employee is immersed in the strategy of the company and has equal opportunity to contribute towards a successful execution. New ideas are evaluated based on their merit instead of blindly following the legacy processes established by the automotive industry. From a "perks" standpoint, there is a stocked snack cupboard and ample room to run your RC car outside. Vacation schedules are flexible to accommodate any reasonable request. Also the occasional tossing of the football outside helps to keep the creative juices flowing.
Kontras
In a company with constantly evolving ideas and processes, it takes the right personality to embrace the power of change. The perpetual change can be seen as frustrating until you commit yourself to the process of continuous improvement.
