Pros

Great for people who are really into rockets/aerospace, there is nothing else in NZ like it. You develop a special camaraderie with colleagues that only comes with working long hours under stressful situations with each other. There are some great people there. Looks great on CV.

Cons

Long hours. A lot of pressure and expectation from management.

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback. We are most definitely in a huge growth mode, doubling in size in the last 12 months and continual growing each week to support our ever expanding portfolio as an end-to-end space company. With this amount of growth we agree that it is fast-paced and ever-evolving, but this is part of the challenge and the fun of working for one of the best (if not the best!) space companies in the world. We look forward to celebrating our next mission with you (There and Back Again - Launching today!) -Rocket Lab People and Culture

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We agree we have a great team of talented people who create and deliver cool products which provide a number of exciting times and opportunities! We are working on further resourcing up our team to support the workload on our employees, doubling our recruitment team size in the US and NZ. However we would encourage you to talk with your manager or P&C if you feel you are unable to manage your workload or would like further support. Thanks again for your feedback - we look forward to hitting the launch pad with you very soon (today in fact!) -Rocket Lab People and Culture
