Pros

We are literally building the future. Even though we may have just reached our 20 year anniversary, Blue is still in a very formative state with a huge opportunity to be a part of shaping the future of spaceflight. Work/life balance has been good for me. I have had many opportunities to prove myself and be rewarded with career advancement. I have great mobility within the company to work on interesting and high-profile projects all over the organization.

Cons

Change management could use some growth. Benefits are not as good as previous firms I’ve been at.

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.
