Pros

Blue Origin is a great place for engineers that want to design, build and test hardware. It is rare to work in an environment where you have the opportunity to manage a project from conceptual design thru a flight article. In my time here I have yet to start designing something that did not end up as hardware that I tested. The people here are some of the brightest I have worked with and also extremely helpful. There is significant opportunity to learn and hone your engineering skills. As the company grows opportunities for advancement are becoming more available.

Cons

As a growing company there are many processes that need to be worked out and improved. This can be frustrating at times. The benefits are reasonable although there is no opportunity to accrue additional vacation based on years of service.

Pros

Free cheese and yogurt. Some people are nice others will make sure you fail

Cons

No equity unless you like monopoly money. No IPO for Blue ever and liquidity events are just bonus event. No work life balance. Toxic leadership who do not care about but will lie to you as long as you serve their own purpose. Everyone is looking, DO NOT come here!!! You will lose years of your life stressed out, frustrated and nothing but an average salary to show for. There are better places out there for space work
