      Pros

      -Great team culture -The opportunity to progress your career quickly and work on the big stuff -Awesome perks (stock, food, coffee, team events, additional leave entitlements and more) -The ability to be yourself (super diverse group of people from all walks of life and from across the globe) -Exposure in a global company -Exciting and engaging work -I have a great leader who inspires me and makes me want to be the best version of myself -Can not stress this enough, the people are AMAZING!

      Cons

      -If you don't want to push or challenge yourself, Rocket Lab isn't for you. If you want to progress your career quickly and work on some incredible projects, then definitely get involved -Rocket Lab is not big on working from home, but I am less productive from home so I would rather be in the office any way (and I get to hang out with my team and get barista coffee and free snacks, so lots of benefits to coming in :D )

      Big ambitions, lack of quality in production processes.

      Pros

      Decent benefits and ok pay for non degreed roles.

      Cons

      Executive and manufacturing leads are troublesome. Manufacturing team leads are clearly under experienced with team management and lack of diversity in the fullest. Only one person of color within RocketLab HQ in long beach California. Very disgusted at leadership and executive.

      Worst employer I’ve ever had

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Getting to say you work in the space industry is pretty darn cool

      Cons

      Toxic work environment, lots of workplace bullying. A very negative and draining environment with no work/life balance. Terrible/below market pay with zero benefits. No clear progression and you get worked to the nine with little to no reward. The high staff turnover speaks for itself really…
