      Fun in the beginning, leaders lacking

      Pros

      Was fun as a startup, it realy leaned on rocket enthusiasts and new zelanad engineering talent to get ahead for cheap. Most of the hard working attention to detail is gone and has become a corporate step on the little guy company. Good for new people trying to get into the space industry but not much opportunity. It's surviving because the engeers love space and hard challenges.

      Cons

      Stepped on the talent and pushed out the early founding members. Alialenated early employees who dedicated a long portion of their lives and takes people and old staff to court because they can. Nz staff paid horribly for similar roles in USA. Taking leave is hard and you're made to feel guilty for asking. Engineering values were pushed down over deliverables.

      Life @ Rocket Lab

      Pros

      Seriously cutting edge tech, one of the few companies one can work for developing rockets, space systems, launching regularly, and successfully.

      Cons

      Barista coffee isn't really barista coffee. There is no barista, but just barista machines which we use to make our coffee. The gym is essentially a hotel-type gym which feels like it's there so the company can say they have a gym rather than being meaningful gym. The workspace is congested with rows of desks and the next person about 1m away with no separation. People hold meetings at their desks whether online or in-person which is distracting and noisy. Parking is a nightmare.
