Pros

Exciting work and projects (if you can ignore the cons). Lots of smart people. Dogs come to work. Snacks.

Cons

The life has left this place. It’s depressinng to work here and the leaders that have come on board since Rob Meyerson have created a culture and environment that might look great from the outside and from the words they say but the reality is not good. At all. Company doesn’t care about it’s employees, so many manager egos to please that’s all you end up doing instead of actually making progress with the hardware.

Pros

Free coffee and snacks and a slice of pizza when New Glenn launched and landed. They years before Blue gave everyone a 10K bonus for the New Shepard first human flight, they have since shut the entire program down.

Cons

Too many to list. The high performers get hit the hardest. I went 8 months without out missing a day, pick up other incomplete projects. After 8 years I received zero stock options which was promised at time of hire. When I left Blue had 383 people with Director in their title and had 40 VPs. Blue even posted a picture of the Chief Engineers on their Facebook page, they had 42! I was there for 8 years and my title never changed, every year they promised a promotion but they never come. I have 2 Masters degrees my Sr Manager had an A.A in arts, once he made Sr Director he was there for 6 months and moved to Andril. The pad repairs will take a year and they will loose the FCC bandwidth which will make them obsolete.
