1 vs 5 Million - no lifestyle change
I got an offer for joining Rivian on one of the software teams as senior systems engineer: Base: 165k Stock: 180k (25%/4yrs and IPO contingency) Sign on: 15k 5 YOE Bay area The HR representative keep comparing the company with Tesla and Nikola, and how the stock can be worth 3 - 10 times, but IMO they do not have an Elon and the Cybertruck is a tough competitor. #offer #startup #rivian #rivianautomotive
How was their interview?
Nikola's a blatant scam and they still managed to successfully IPO. Rivian should have no problem
The scams sams seem to be the industry norm. Tesla does it frequently.
Rivian is a good company but business model is little narrow and could be not profitable enough to gain market share in pickup truck. IPO is not easy process unless they want to take the same course to Nikola.
Hi, can I message you regarding Rivian's wlb ? Expecting an offer soon would like to chat with employees before I make my decision
If you are seriously asking this question...You should just go to Tesla. Or Nikola. Save us the time of firing you for being a fucking twat
^ this tells me a lot about the environment there
Sure does. Seriously, who asks that and makes such a statement? Fucking troll
future valuations are just hope and speculation. Is there a more concrete question that people could answer? The only thing r1t and tesla cybertruck have in common is they’re both electric. I’m betting on Rivians design sense and tech specs.... i’m not really interested in a commuter car that looks like an urban assault vehicle and the cyber truck doesn’t get enough miles to be anything other than a commuter
I was planning to apply to Rivian and this thread made me have a second thought
Good.
Why would HR even bring up Nikola lmao
Cause Nikola is am example for a company with IPO and its stock went up more than double. Rivian may see better numbers.
Every company in the EV space should be thankful to Elon for paving the way. With that said, we are capable to carve our own path and success. Do your research and if you are convinced, make the switch. And ignore the trolls from Rivian, anonymity brings out the worst in some.
Rivian’s challenge may not be the technology but the crowded market. To be like Apple in the smart phone, Rivian DNA should be totally different from competitors. What are new from your company?
It's not a crowded market. Making nice concept car and scaling it to mass production are 2 different ball games. Agreed, it's a crowded market for making nice concept cars but not for later part. RIVIAN DNA is its people. You will be amazed how many car guys are infused in this company. No offense to tech guys but you can't figure our car design and manufacturing sitting in the room, coding, simulating . Most of the leaders or engineers are very much hands on to what they do. That's the real strength IMHO. Rivian has a lot to prove but it has better potential to be successful. Other is Lucid.
They don't have an Elon, but I wouldn't call the Cybertruck tough competition. They're both being marketed for different audiences and one thing Tesla can't get right is a nice looking interior. I'd rather have an R1T than a Cybertruck for that reason alone. Also congrats on the offer!
