I applied online. I interviewed at Rivian in Jun 2026
Interview
It started with the recruiter call that lasted, like, for 10-13 minutes; a few days later after selecting a date of my choice, I had the hiring manager interview. Post that there are no updates or responses from the recruiter. After several follow-ups, all I hear is crickets!!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to walk through the resume, and they checked my background, fit for the role and also the fundamentals that are required for the role. Concluded the call by asking if I'm okay for relocation to onsite, cause the work location is onsite.
The interview experience was very smooth and incredibly friendly. The panel made me feel comfortable, asked clear questions, and maintained a positive atmosphere. It felt conversational rather than intimidating, leaving me confident and satisfied with the overall process.
First had a recruiter call for interesting and fit. The next round was a 30-minute chat with the hiring manager. Then, 2 technical rounds are scheduled together. One was a 30-minute coding, and the other was a 30-minute conceptual round.
