Pros

Money money money. You get paid a lot, bonuses are large. There's decently stocked kitchens all over the place and the parties are pretty lit.

Cons

Leadership aways sways to the whims of Bezos, who thinks if it works for Amazon, it works for Blue Origin. People are so in love with that massive paycheck, they give up a lot of integrity and work/life balance. It deeply bothered me that, in my late 40s, I was the oldest engineer on my program.

Pros

Top talent. Never boring. Interesting work. High pay.

Cons

Zero job security. Hyper-micro management of technical details by career driven VPs (50 total at Blue) and CEO. CEO has goofy ideas about manufacturing -- is trying to turn Blue Origin into Facebook or Twitter.

Pros

The overall benefits package is comparable to others in the industry.

Cons

Grew too fast. Hired all the right people and put them in all the wrong positions. This led to burn out for some and boredom for others. The culture changed from being an exciting venture everyone wanted to be a part of, to a regular slave driving shop where nobody feels secure about having a job the next day.
