Recruiter interview + technical assignment. Halfway through the technical assignment, the position I was interviewing for was taken down and it took 2 weeks to get any confirmation, no feedback. Recruiter was responsive but it seemed like there were different recruiters for same position, hence position was gone already.
The initial stages were straightforward, but complexities surfaced during technical interviews, posing greater challenges. Despite this, the overall experience was positive, offering a valuable learning opportunity and insight into navigating both the accessible beginnings and the intricacies of technical assessments.
I applied online. I interviewed at Rivian (Palo Alto, CA) in Sep 2022
Interview
45 minutes interview presentation. Questions are rounding with job requirements and presentation details. Two Ph.D. stuff asked two different fields. There should three people to attend my interview, but only show two of them, the team manager did not show. I think this is why I got rejected after waiting three weeks!
