Pros

The work environment with peers was positive and lots of passionate people working the Blue Origin mission. There were opportunities to network outside of working hours to help the communal feel and bonding.

Cons

Most managers were thrown into their positions without clear understanding of what the independent contributors under them work on. With extreme growth, the company became too bureaucratic and political. Consistent benefits, but unequal promotion and pay applied to a select few.

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
