The recruiter called me we had a good conversation and he told me he would get back in two days. He then never got back to me. When I followed up he said someone else was taking over and gave me their name. No one ever got back to me.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rivian (Irvine, CA) in Sep 2019
Interview
I applied online and got a call from a recruiter within 2 days. Then a second call with an engineer for technical screening. Then an on-site interview scheduled next week. The on-site interview took place at Irvine, CA which lasted 4-5 hours. The interview was quite technical and engaging. I was surprised they've been looking for the "best" candidate for almost 5 months. I figure they have to draw a line at some point to make a hiring decision and move forward to developing their products.
