Blue Origin reviews

Far and away the worst place to be an engineer. No real analysis is done, a lot of expectation to figure out how to prove your bosses idea right. Company politics run rampant, and the systems aren't mature enough to allow you to be effective. Everyone says "it's cool to work on rockets" but we broke ground at "rocket Park" in Cape Canaveral almost a decade ago and have built exactly one rocket. You don't work on rockets here, you get to watch first hand what a failing business looks like, except there's enough money in the bank that we don't have to actually figure out how to succeed. Culture reflects leaders we've taken from SpaceX, Amazon, and Boeing, so you can imagine there's a lot of "do more with less" along with cutting corners, seeing people as expendable, and we even picked up some of the engineering and project management habits that have had Boeing in the news. Recommend you look elsewhere, there's great companies in the area.

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.
