Relativity Space Reviews

For a company that loves to claim to not be SpaceX they somehow have taken all of the bad attributes from them. Majority of teams work 12+ hour days and Saturdays after being lured in with the promise of work life balance. Senior leadership is inept and unwilling to listen to counter ideas despite the company touting that they want disruptive solutions. Nepotism runs rampant with leaders hiring their friends or former coworkers and if you're not willing to blindly follow you get retaliated against. Such a shame considering that this place used to be visionary in both technology as well as the way they treated employees but with the steady influx of toxic former space leaders it's rapidly gone downhill. If you're looking for an organization that values humanity of their employees then stay far far away from this place.

NOT A STARTUP. They have taken away everything that makes a startup a startup. Hardly any free lunches, dinners, parties, snacks, or joy to be found nowadays. The only startup thing left is the low salaries, poor work life balance, risk of failure,and lack of experience from the leadership. There are constant (every 3 months), MASSIVE reorganizations; being in management is super cut throat. They are very good at promoting internally, but only because people keep getting the boot and they don’t pay enough to get proven leaders from elsewhere to accept the offers. If you want to be an engineer and get really good technically, this is not the spot for you- you will learn what you can out of desperation, but you won’t go far or be rewarded. If you want a crash course in politics and nepotism, get on board.
