Rocket Lab Software Engineer interview experience

After that, the rest of the process was more traditional: I went through a combination of technical and behavioral conversations focused on my engineering experience. The whole arc felt like they were trying to connect what I’d built with how I thought about solving problems day to day.

It didn’t feel like there were any extreme gotchas, just steady evaluation across both sides—how I approached technical work and how I fit the team. I left with the sense that the bar was a clear, realistic engineering standard rather than trick questions, even though the final result was a no offer.
