Minpunten
Rivian’s mat/pat leave is disappointing and showcases a lack of knowledge or concern around women’s health care post birth or parental bonding at large. There is conflicting information provided upon talking to a recruiter vs benefits team vs what is circulated at the company. They lean into short-term disability to cover paid leave and supplement remaining (up to 12 weeks, depending on your start date) with their policy. There is no dedicated Rivian policy without first exhausting short-term disability. Firms, agencies, as well as other tech companies are far more competitive. It is disappointing to see a newly launched tech company, with the valuation it currently has, not prioritize this part of employee care. Ask during the recruiting process and get it in writing.
