Pros
I absolutely love my job at Blue. Everyone I personally work with is passionate and driven to complete our long term mission. The goal of millions of people living in space isn’t going to happen in my lifetime but I love being apart of the team of engineers that begin that journey. Getting there without exploiting our passion for space is one of the reason I love working at Blue. I can’t stress how much support I’ve gotten from the company. Relocation, management, hr, training, IT. All of it, top notch. The company also supports work life balance. So I know my family doesn’t have to come second. I was fortunate enough to interview with several big names in space and there was no question. I was picking Blue.
Cons
I wish they would increase the available office space near the manufacturing and test labs. My desk is in a different location than my lab. I don’t mind walking through a few buildings or across the street, but having to drive makes context switching difficult. Note: The company does provide free shuttles, bikes, and it can be walked. Which is awesome.
