Pros

The experience on your Resume

Cons

It’s an unfair workplace that continues to take from employees until they are ground in to the dirt. They even asked staff to work for free during lockdown, so they didn’t get behind in production. No doubt at all the the VPs and above still got paid!

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. With regards to your comment about asking employees to work for free during lockdown, none of our staff were asked to work and were paid at least 80% of their wages during this time. If you could provide a specific example of when this occurred (anonymously) to peopleandculture@rocketlab.co.nz so we can investigate, it would be appreciated. Thanks again for your feedback and we hope you provide some more insight into your comments. -Rocket Lab People and Culture
