I applied online. I interviewed at Rivian (Irvine, CA) in Jan 2022
Interview
Very bad experience:
Two people including hiring manager did not show up for the panel interviews.
I had 45 min interviews with 3 engineers and got very positive feedback from them.
To my surprise, they did not feel I am a fit!! Not sure what the criteria for evaluation was. I heard from one of the interviewers that the working experience is not good and was complaining about how a lot of things are not clear!!
Second interviewers said he does not know much about this positions so he will ask some general SW questions!!!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
First interview: Behavioral question
Second interview: SW related questions. The person interviewing me did not know much about controls so just general questions nothing challenging.
Third (last) interview: some Kalman filter related question.
Friendly, organized For certain roles, candidates might be given a case study or a task to complete. This allows the company to evaluate the candidate's approach to problem-solving, creativity, and their ability to apply their skills in real-world situations.

Question 1
Behavioral interviews focus on understanding how a candidate has behaved in specific situations in the past. The idea is that past behavior is a good indicator of future behavior. Candidates are asked about how they've handled challenges, conflicts, teamwork, leadership, and other relevant scenarios.

Interview
They request an interview, set the day and never appear to the meeting. Disappointing. They ask many too many times and show interest and at the end nothing, very rude
Was over the phone, and was basically an exam.
The problem was that during the quiz, a particular question had 3 answers, I said all 3, and then the interviewer asked for another answer. When he finally revealed I got it wrong and told me the answer, it was something I had already said, they just weren't paying attention.
