Pros
It’s really damaging reading such inaccurate reviews in the media about the Rivian culture. An assault from a disgruntled employee. Let’s state some facts - I saw WEEKLY videos from this person saying how much she loved it here. She interviewed me AND spent most of the interview telling me how much she loved the culture and how it was the best place she’d worked. I do not doubt for one second she will have come up against some bro men. This is America and we have a lot of Bro’s here. But my experience couldn’t be more different. I have an inspirational mentor who is a Director in another team, I have supportive male colleagues. SURE could there be more women working in tech and auto OF COURSE, but we have to lead by example. All these negative reviews are doing is ONCE AGAIN stopping women from trying to get into the tech space. Most toxic culture in 20 years? Or most toxic culture when someone realised they weren’t doing their job well enough to match the hype they’d curated in the media for years? That’s more like it.
Cons
Why is the company not pushing back more in the media? We should stand up and be proud of what we are working here and celebrating the women in the company? Ex disgruntled employees who are looking for a check are going to be on here writing things. And by the way, didn’t the person who is complaining in the media fire someone on her own team during the summer and that person accused HER of being toxic?! Maybe that’s where she got the idea from?
