Pros & Cons

  • The interesting projects and the fact I can send my designs to space!
  • The people I work with! Also the project that I am currently working on + perks including merch
  • Everyone I have met is very friendly and happy to help if you are confused or need help finding something. They answer questions respectfully and without any judgement.
  • Higher pressure, high expectations
  • There is a lot of specialised knowledge and jargon which is hard to understand at first and can make new people feel left out in conversations as they don't understand.

Culture
The culture in the team that I am in (and adjacent teams) is great! Everyone is highly supportive of one another and get along great. There might be times in which employees may be expected to work overtime closer to launch so it may get stressful then.

Diversity
There isn't much diversity but it seems like the p&c team are trying to change that through increased awareness across the company. Recently there has been more diverse hires recently which is promising to see.

Office Work Environment
The office space is great, and have plenty of technical equipment and resources to help employees - I enjoy the environment that I work in. However, it would be great if there are more parking spaces closer to the building that I work in, and preferably on non-gravel surfaces too!

Recruitment

Recruitment
I applied at the beginning of the year and did not receive a response for 3-4 months. At the time of my offer I was considering offers from a number of companies and if I had been called a week later I would have almost certainly already accepted a position

Training
Training is a bit sporadic and although there are some defined training paths I have found a lot was left up to me to figure out what was worth learning

Rocket Lab is pretty flexible. I definitely tend to do more than my contracted hours though but I don't mind as the work is engaging
