      Pros

      - Engineer-driven. We build out what we think is the most important thing rather than being told what we have to build, so there's a strong sense of ownership. - There's a strong focus on quality. We're willing to build things out well rather than quick, and management is supportive of that. - Fast-paced. It's really incredible to see the positive impacts of your work month-over-month as the rest of the company evolves. - Company culture. Relativity has a great culture where everyone's voices are heard and we learn from mistakes, rather than punish mistakes. - The future of the company. Things are coming together at an incredible pace and it's super exciting to be part of it.

      Cons

      - No froyo machines :(

      So Lucky to be on this Team

      Pros

      The people and culture. The leadership. The ability to work on so many things without ever feeling pushed to give up your personal life. I've been here for over two years, and an eventual con was that the team was so new and young, we were all figuring it out together. At the time this was a huge pro, and felt like a life-time crammed into a single year, but over time this freedom ran its course. Now, with a huge crop of experienced leaders joining the crew, there has been mentorship aplenty. It's been really incredible and I feel really lucky for getting a front row seat in so many arenas where I otherwise may have found myself 3 or 4 org levels away from the action. The company also is responsible. Kind. Fun. Strategic. Tim and Jordan (the two founders) really really CARE about the people and employees. They do a good job walking the balance between caring for the larger group and also doing what they can for the individuals.

      Cons

      The cons become fewer and fewer as time moves on. Kicking off hyper-growth and watching every system break faster than you can fix it was (is) exhausting. Everyone is doing a million things at once, so sometimes communication can break down, but everyone is been pretty awesome about being forward-looking and strengthening the team. You may have to walk 5-8 minutes because you have to park in the neighborhood (oh no! LA weather!) or walk to the farthest bathroom (we have five bathrooms and I've literally never seen all five occupied at once), but honestly if those are the things that turn you off, working at a start-up is not a match for you.

      Extremely disruptive approach to building the future of space

      Pros

      -The most inspiring mission of any company I've ever worked for, and one that stands out among other rocket launch companies. Definitely doing something different with 3D printing and robotics compared to others and the value proposition is huge. -Unusually talented team and great work culture, everyone embraces first-principles thinking and there is a very low blame culture which is great for promoting innovation and new ideas -Using modern things like company chat means people have fun while working hard -Building for long-term success with confidence that approach will pay off. Unique to other launch startups in that way. Seems way more on top of operational growth and communication than other small companies I've been at

      Cons

      -Team is growing very quickly to build all the things we need to. I can see how continuing product development under high growth will stress a lot of the processes we have spent the time to establish -Hiring process is rigorous and takes a lot of meetings, although I suppose this is good to keep that bar high -Need more conference rooms
