Pros

I love working at Rocket Lab. I work with fantastic people who are smart, encouraging and always up for a laugh. Our team gets to tackle tough problems and we have a lot of freedom in how we go about solving them. I also have a sweet work/life balance. What’s more, we get to play our part in sending rockets to space. Rocket Lab is growing, so there are many opportunities to help shape the company and make a difference. I was a bit intimidated by Rocket Lab before I started, but since working here I can say that it has exceeded my expectations. Great people, heaps of fun, exciting times!

Cons

I think we still have a way to go before we see alignment of values across teams and departments. There are pockets within the company that don't have the most positive work culture, as evident by some of the negative reviews on here, however the company has been putting a lot of effort in recently to change this.
