Extreme pressure to work day and night and pressure to not complain - Software Engineer Rivian Employee Review

The company culture is a myth. The Line managers in the software side are extremely demanding and think that employees working from home should work day and night. There is absolutely no regard for employees family life. Meetings are regularly held starting 8am in morning all the way up to 6pm in evening. There are actually full day of meetings for more than 7 to 8 hours. Many times skipping lunch to be part of meeting is not only encouraged but the bragged about. The expectation is for engineers to finish their work in evening and night. Line managers and directors hold town halls scolding employees to not work so hard but then the same day organizes one-on-one meetings with each employee pressuring to work and deliver more. My direct manager works 4am in morning regularly and does an all nighter and encourages others to do so. Bad example is set by managers themselves and employees are forced to copy. Director forces managers to not put more time estimation in JIRA project tracking system so that his bosses do not see higher man hour requirements to deliver a feature. However forces employees under him to deliver in super-human like speed. Basically the Director wants his bosses to see that his team can deliver a feature which should take 2 months in under 2 week all the while the employees did not work more than 8 hours a day. Utter disregard for employees family. There are kids in family too who need to go school and picked up. But meetings are held exactly at time of pickup and drop off. The behavior is such that there is no such thing as covid in the world. 200 employees are asked to fly and meet for week in office meetings from 8am to 9pm. With current infections spreading to vaccinated people too..this is going to be a super spreader event. The neck breaking work and the pace will break back of all employees. While Directors and VPs ask employees to take a break, they privately pressure to deliver more. too bad. This is another Tesla or even worse.
