Pros

Great pay. Driven and hard working teammates

Cons

Leadership is a joke. Disorganized. Constant system changes. 1 word to describe this place: chaos

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

Great culture -- people willing to go above when it counts but also have lives to live. Varies with business units, though. Lots of amazing missions they're working. So many cool projects. Good compensation. Lots of smart and skilled engineers.

Cons

Some amenities and benefits not up to par with tech in the area. Lots of great work means they're spread thin sometimes. Too many company values makes it messy. Timelines can be detached from reality sometimes.
