Hi there, We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We are stoked to hear that you are enjoying the workplace environment and that you have great relationships with other employees here at Rocket Lab. We appreciate the feedback regarding salary. We do have a number of people who come over from overseas where wage and conditions are different, however we have had our remuneration bench-marked, and for the most part we are on par with our local markets and where we are not, we are working hard to change this. Thanks again for the feedback and for all your hard work! -Rocket Lab People and Culture

Pros

You get to work with some of the smartest people from many different engineering disciplines. I personally get to work with a great team of engineers and interact with lots of other awesome teams who are experts in their fields. You get to solve unique problems, the kinds of problems that we solve on a daily basis are not like what you’d find at other companies, they’re always different and often require creative solutions.

Cons

Rocket Lab is very much in the transition from start-up to an established manufacturing and engineering company. With this transition comes lots of change. So if you're looking for a position that's set in stone, where it's only ever maintenance and you don't usually need to come up with new ideas or solutions, then this might not be the company for you. But if you're looking for a place where you can stretch your arms a bit and really solve some awesome problems, here's the right place.

Hi there, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review, we really appreciate it! We’re so glad to hear that you’re happy working here and that there are so many things you enjoy about your job. As you’ve said, we are transitioning from the start-up days where things would change by the minute, to an established leader in the global field of small-sat launch, and we acknowledge that there are upsides and downsides to this. The company’s innovative, adaptable ethos means that we can solve problems quickly and efficiently, and this has been a massive factor in why we’ve been able to have such great success so far. We love hearing that the challenge of doing so excites the incredible minds that we are lucky enough to have in the team! In terms of long term planning, we hope the recent all hands meeting, which shared our strategic goals for 2020 and beyond, highlighted just how much work is going into forward planning and communication. We look forward to working with you in 2020 to turn this strategy into a reality. - Rocket Lab People and Culture
