Rivian Employee Endures Rollercoaster Ride of Layoffs and Spending at EV Startup
- Started at Rivian in 2019, was enthralled by the company's mission and excited to work at an EV startup
- Experienced 4 rounds of layoffs in 4 years at Rivian, was filled with anxiety but not surprised by the latest round
- Frustrated by the constant job insecurity and inability to make major life decisions while at Rivian
- Witnessed a lot of wasteful spending at Rivian after big investments, difficult to change those habits
- Already applying for new jobs, wouldn't mind working at another startup after leaving Rivian
