Pros

None at all in the teams

Cons

Pretty much everyone I talk to has the same question - Can you explain this short stint at Rivian? Yes, what can I say? - I chose my family over corporate ladder - I chose to be my family going through a huge personal loss of a loved one, rather than work through to get a leader (Za.M.) to the next promotion - I chose to spend time with my young kids wondering why suddenly things are different than to work on boards, lacking resources or proper culture - I prefer to stand-by my family than stand-by a leader, who despite of being a woman, cannot feel the emotions of what the other side goes through, and just cares about climbing the personal ladder - I prefer to stand-by my family than with a leader, who complains that the code push was at early morning 5am and not at 11pm It is too bad that Rivian's leaders lack empathy Needless to say I will not buying a Rivian, even if I had a chance to. కామమాశ్రిత్య దుష్పూరం దంభమానమదాన్వితాః । మోహాద్గృహీత్వాసద్గ్రాహాన్ ప్రవర్తంతేఽశుచివ్రతాః ।।
