Pros

Working at Rocket Lab has been fantastic. The space systems team is growing fast, but it's still small enough that you don't get silo'd and can have a big impact. Coworkers are all super passionate and great at what they do, and there are a lot of super interesting projects to work on.

Cons

Growth is hard, and the space systems division has not been immune to challenges with cross-program organization and resourcing (despite hiring across the board).
