I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Rivian (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2020
Interview
The interview experience is above average. But you can tell they did not do enough work to get to know your resume. That may be because the company is in a period of the hiring surge.

They asked me questions about my career and skills and i answered them and then they asked more questions and then i answered those too. yes i did mhmm for sure i did
Started with a call from a recruiter asking me about my resume. 2 weeks later got invited to a panel with multiple interviews with different engineering leads. Mostly behavioral questions with some technical questions.
3 rounds, fairly quick process. Recruiting was very helpful and polite. Mix of technical and behavioral questions. Left feeling like I had a good idea of what the job would be like (rotational program for new grads.)
