Pros

Rocket Lab is a great place to work. You’re part of a great team, you’re listened too, pushed to see what you’re capable and much more. Discounted on site lunches, free (small and basic) gym, own computer, own email address, social club activities.

Cons

Car parking can be hard if you’re late, some systems and processes are old and in the process of being updated this year, factory gets hot in summer however big as fans have been installed and this mitigates it slightly.

Hi there, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us. It's great to hear that you're enjoying working at Rocket Lab and enjoying the environment and the perks on offer. Thank you also for your acknowledgement of the company's commitment to changing the things that need to change - there is always room for improvement, and we are tackling each task one step at a time. Of course, this can't always be a quick, easy fix but it's great to hear that the efforts of those who've been implementing these changes haven't gone unnoticed. We have also passed on your advice to management at the weekly management meeting yesterday, as we definitely appreciate the impact that just a smile and friendly hello can have on someone's day! Thanks again, and please feel free to drop by the P&C office any time to share any further thoughts or suggestions. - Rocket Lab People and Culture

Hi there, We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your time at Rocket Lab, and in particular, the team environment. We know our people are our greatest asset so it’s fantastic to hear this reflected in your feedback. We are working hard to improve on the points you mentioned – last year we increased the size of the organization by 45% to help share the workload. We also hired and promoted over 25 people into newly created leadership roles, and continue to add more, in order to ensure supervision improves for those in the team who thrive under closer management. Thank you so much for your feedback, and we will always endeavor to keep that close-knit, family feel strong as we grow. - Rocket Lab People and Culture
