J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Rivian en sept. 2023
Entretien
The recruiter reached out to me for a position that seems to be a match. The technical interview went well and I went to the onsite interview. The funny part started from here. After several rounds of interviews, the manager finally came out and tried to understand my background. Then he told me your background is not a fit to this role. I have never experienced an interview like this. I spent lots of time preparing and took time off for an interview in which the manager in the last moment told me that your background is not a fit. This is rather ridiculous to me. Please, Rivian teams, this is not how it works. You should at least let the hiring manager talk to me first before entering the final round, even first round. This is very unprofessional and you are wasting candidates' time. Although all interviewers are nice, this process is not professional at all.

First got HR call, there were two calls which was strange and took around one month to schedule the following meeting.
Then online code test with staff engineer from US.
HR + 1 technical with hiring manager + 2 live coding, all went well and pleasant, they were really professional and made me feel relaxed during the process. They were also helpful during the interview when i could not remember some things

Very straightforward, and very nice people guiding me through the process. Although I wasn't particularly suited for the role, the staff engineer was very patient in giving advice and tips for solving problems.
