Rivian Careers, Benefits, Review

Our story is about people coming together with one mission in mind: to protect our planet and the cultures that inhabit it for generations to come.

Through our hiring, onboarding, development and rewards, we’re committed to building an inclusive workplace where ideas and innovation flourish and where all individuals feel a true sense of belonging. Breaking up homogeneity by working with people who are different challenges entrenched ways of thinking and encourages greater scrutiny of actions and decisions.

Our Belonging Team, a part of the larger People Team, is focused on the activities and practices that enable diversity, equity and inclusion. They connect our values with our diversity and belonging roadmap.

Grassroots, employee-led Belonging Resource Groups (BRGs) are encouraged as an effort to establish community among people who share lived experiences. These groups include our Rainbow Rivianites, Rivian Women’s Network, Black & African American Group, LatinX Group, Asian Pacific Islander Group, Military Veterans Group and Intersectionality Group.

Employees can join or start BRGs as a way to come together, provide education and engagement, and form alliances in awareness and advocacy across the company. Empathy and openness are a big part of being an ally for each other, and BRGs provide a way to share and receive stories and experiences.

We also make it a priority to find committed partners who are making a positive impact in the community. Working with organizations such as Basecamp Outdoor and The Bridge Project and participating in hiring events like the Grace Hopper Celebration further extend our reach to recruit diverse talent.

As part of our efforts to attract a diverse candidate pool and promote science and engineering for women and other underrepresented groups, we have internship programs designed to increase representation. We’ve hosted Tech Talks for women in technology, service and operations and are building relationships with universities including Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Hispanic-Serving Institutions.

As we continue on our journey, we’ll keep climbing in pursuit of always doing what’s right for our employees, the planet and the next generation. 

Forever starts with us

There’s a magic that occurs when people from different worlds, with different lived experiences and perspectives, surround a challenge from all sides. If it were up to us, every person on the planet would be joining forces to mitigate climate change. The carbonization of our atmosphere presents a great threat to humanity, but with some imagination, and a shared commitment to drastically reducing emissions, a better way forward is possible. 

We Are Rivian

Starting from a clean sheet has allowed us to learn from and leverage what’s been done in the past while giving us the freedom to reimagine mobility from the ground up. Our vehicles and technology are designed and engineered to challenge what’s possible and to inspire people to explore the world in new ways.

We believe in the power of adventure. Science and invention depend on our innate curiosity and desire to explore the unknown. While a vehicle can’t make someone adventurous, it can nurture that fundamental desire in each of us to go places we’ve never been and do things we’ve never done — thoughtfully and sustainably.

The Adventure Is Just Beginning

Doing something different is never easy. It requires courage, optimism and grit. Core to delivering on our vision is building a team of curious individuals, determined to make a positive impact on the world. This means challenging ourselves, stretching beyond the bounds of conventional thinking, reframing old problems, seeking new solutions and operating comfortably in a space of uncertainty. 

Our team has a diverse set of backgrounds— but at heart, we are adventurers on a mission to move the world in a new direction. We’re currently looking for thinkers and doers with a strong sense of adventure to join us on this journey.
