Rocket Lab reviews

I found that engineers were often employed as assembly technicians, test technicians, assembling kits, acting as procurement officers and even 'engineering assistants'. Engineers are paid very poor salaries and still expected to work 7 days a week at times to meet deadlines that were unrealistic. There were 100 employees before a HR advisor was hired and the first 2 quit in a year.

Extremely long hours, then when you are wrecked something will go wrong and you will be there even later. If you are in in certain roles expect to work at 2am as an engineer if things are behind schedule. Engineers are often made acceptance technicians despite being far more qualified. There is no real talent management, no performance reviews, no goal setting, no internal applications for jobs to move around. Most managers started as graduates at rocket lab and really just adopt the rocket lab way rather than having any formal leadership skills or experienced organisational managerial skills.
