Pros and cons of working at Rocket Lab New Zealand
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
