I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rivian (New York, NY)
Interview
I applied to a role on their website, recruiter reached out to me independently the next day via LinkedIn and told me she wasn't necessarily looking at applicants but was searching LinkedIn, so I'd recommend finding their recruiters on LinkedIn. Each recruiter may be different so your mileage may vary.
Initial screening was the next day and then had a 1 on 1 a week or two later, then two weeks after that had a panel interview (4-5 1 on 1s). Then two weeks later had a final 1 on 1 with the director.
Wouldn't have minded a bit more communication on timing from the recruiters, I did sometimes feel like I was being left in the dark, but am sure they are talking to tons of people.
When the offer was being prepared the recruiter called and gave me a salary range and asked where I felt I should be in the range which I really appreciated.
Extensive process that requires multiple stages, although very effective. Progressive methods and thoughtfulness was included in their process. Will recommend for any begineer, intermediate or experienced proffessional. Practise will help a lot
brief and concise. one interview with recruiter, one with manager and one panel interview with engineer on the team for 45 minutes.
Talked about my resume and college experiences. talked about senior design project from undergrad school.
