Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 2 semanas. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Rivian.
Entrevista
It was a staged, one round rejection interview linked to my current employer. Phone call with internal recruiter was all fine and crystal clear, and I knew I passed. Recruiter kept asking me why my current company is not a good fit. Recruiter said he’s not trying to give me a hard time (he certainly was trying to and that was a lie), and kept harping on the same question a couple times. He’s just trying to tease out detailed information via voice, so my current company knows this via surveillance. Recruiter said one week to hear back. Heard nothing and I called after 2 weeks later, twice. No call back from recruiter and rejection letter was sent. Funny thing, within those two weeks, all people I interface with at my company were overly nice, prompt, and professional with me. They knew about my attempt to leave, and knew this was a preplanned, staged rejection.

The interview process was pretty chill. First, I had a quick call with HR, then a technical round where they asked about my experience and projects. After that, there was a final discussion with the manager. Overall, it was smooth and not too stressful.

The interview process is extremely time-consuming and lasted for over a month, and it doesn't even seem like they're interested in hiring anyone other than someone like Elon Musk. I had a near-perfect interview with extremely relevant work experience and yet was rejected for an experience mismatch. Not even going to bother applying to this company henceforth. They do not deserve top talent and will eventually seep into mediocrity while competing with other EV brands.
