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

Exciting projects (rocket manufacturing) Top pay Very talented co-workers Learned a lot and upped my skills while there

Cons

Layoffs, Thought it was a secure job till they decimated our department without warning. Short term penny pinching took over. I loved this company so much but after Limp came in, the culture changed and competing with your co-workers so you keep your job and they don't began. Leads to a lot of fear, and toxic work culture.
