I applied online. I interviewed at Rivian in Mar 2021
Interview
The interview process started with a phone screen with a recruiter. Unfortunately the recruiter skipped the first 2 interviews without any notice, and then finally showed up for the third without apologizing. The next interview was with a manager was the most unprofessional I have had in 20+ years. The manager who interviewed me had zero interviewing skills and seemed very uncomfortable. No meaningful questions about my resume. A lot of rambling, and then launched into a "quiz" with 5 minutes left in the interview. He got very disinterested when I tried to ask a couple of questions. Not sure if this is typical for Rivian, but this young man was way out of his league.
Extensive process that requires multiple stages, although very effective. Progressive methods and thoughtfulness was included in their process. Will recommend for any begineer, intermediate or experienced proffessional. Practise will help a lot
brief and concise. one interview with recruiter, one with manager and one panel interview with engineer on the team for 45 minutes.
Talked about my resume and college experiences. talked about senior design project from undergrad school.

Why Rivian? Technical questions from my presentation.
Not complex. HR screening followed by a series of one on one interviews. Nothing too technical. Hr screening covered the basics, salary, team. Rivian salary and total compensation was well below competition.
