      Lead engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working with highly compenent and intelligent ICs, get to work on latest designs and manufacturing techniques, and fun location.

      Cons

      The original Relativity Space is gone and the constant flux in decision making from management is difficult to navigate. This leads to a lot of last minute emergencies that requires long hours. Work life balance is non-existent.

      If I wanted to work at Space X, I'd apply there

      Manufacturing engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great people at the IC Level Interesting projects and challenges High degree of ownership Eric Schmidt seems to be personally invested in the mission for Relativity to be a private space pioneer of science. Free lunch Mondays and Fridays. Decent free snacks & drinks. $30/mo. Reimbursement to use personal device instead of a work phone.

      Cons

      Company culture is losing emphasis on the human element & work-life balance, especially in Manufacturing. Normal schedule has ballooned to 50-70 hours per week with regular weekend work that is requested/scheduled with at most two days notice. Constant factory construction creates hazardous conditions with slow support from EHS/Infrastructure to address (noise, dust, aluminum particulate). Ex-SpaceX Management pushing schedules in ways that strains relations between teams & orgs. Virtually non-existent 401k match Eric Schmidt's takeover reset everyone's equity vesting - it was basically a bankruptcy & buyout without the formalities of such. Equity is now tied to job level, only increases after hiring with promotions. Massive gaps in middle management leave lower levels without proper support. Sr. Directors and VPs are making tactical, day to day decisions instead of empowering and trusting their orgs.
