The interview was canceled at the very last minute, literally at the scheduled time. The reason provided was that I allegedly did not have a certification that was never listed or mentioned in the original job requirements.
Later, via text message, I was informed that they had “just changed everything” and that professional-level English was now required, a condition that had also not been communicated at any point prior to the confirmation of the interview.
Canceling a confirmed interview under these circumstances, based on newly introduced requirements and without prior notice, reflects a lack of professionalism and suggests an arbitrary decision-making process after the fact.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rivian (Irvine, CA) in June 2021
Interview
Interactive, casual, transparent. The recruiting department was very open and shared exactly how it would go. They also asked to prepare a presentation and broke down the specifics as well.
