The team and the work doesn't get any better than this

Pros

-I have been with a few different aerospace companies and Relativity has some of the most intelligent people I have ever worked with. This usually comes with the challenge of dealing with extremely large egos, but the atmosphere and mentality of everyone is so positive and supportive that it truly feels like being on some crazy awesome aerospace dream team. -You are designing and building rockets, which is already awesome. On top of this though you are also 3D printing them, which (while it does have some downsides) makes development crazy fast. A change in an engine model is reflected in actual hardware in a fraction of the time it takes anywhere else. -We have updates from every department in short lunch presentations every other week, which is great in getting everyone up to speed and I feel like I actually know what is going on in other departments. The open office plan also helps with that. -The coffee game is on point

Cons

Most of my cons are pretty small -The benefits could be a bit better, but honestly, they are not bad. As the company grows I am sure the benefits will as well. -The office can get pretty cold or hot depending on the day, but this will be fixed pretty soon. -Parking can be a lit bit crowded

Pros

10 dollar lunch stippen *

Cons

Poor managment with ungrateful expectations of 10hours a day minimums, fun fact if you work 8hours you are required to put in pto for 2 hours you miss. forget sick days and your PTO requests from a long time ago all gone. Toxic is an understatement seems like going around cursing and yelling at engineers and techs is the best way to fly the rocket.

Pros

Genuinely a lot of brilliant and passionate people. Cool product, factory, and mission.

Cons

Extreme toxicity has entered the company. HR trainings and what they preach don’t align with what actually happens or is followed by upper leadership. It’s high stakes environment so they will do whatever it takes to get to first launch and burn as many people as needed to get there. Many great long time employees have left for competitors, in comes the SpaceX culture and not necessarily the good kind. Don’t expect clear roles and responsibilities and don’t be surprised if “teammates” try to throw you under the bus
