Blue Origin reviews

- The upper leadership of the company has no clue what they are doing and its obvious, a majority of them are from Honeywell. We all assume once Bob became CEO he just invited all his buddies to come over too, bad choice. Now Blue is run like a slow corporate aero company when really it could be a fast paced fun place to be. - This is even more exemplified by the fact that they (the execs) do not listen to one word the employees say. If you have an opinion they will be glad to setup a chat, a meeting, a forum, anything. But whatever is said is merely documented and swept under the rug. -Although a large portion of the industry has shifted to a flexible WFH schedule, Blue has decided to force everyone back even with the delta variant spiking right now. This has caused a large portion of the workforce to revolt and the search for a new job has begun for many, or they have already left. - Our PR is at an all time low and the execs seem to be doing anything and everything they can to make it worse. Reddit is a fun read until you realize it's the company you work at that is getting hammered in the comment section. -Staffing is 1/3 of what it should be to actually output the results they ask for. This is even more daunting when a large majority of staff are contractors that have a finite time at Blue. The brain drain is real and we need help now, not down the road. - Attrition, its very bad. I'll leave it at that. - Pay raises do not match the cost of living increases in the Seattle area. I was even told my a manager once "the only way to get a good bump here is to leave and come back in 6 months". Really sad to see they don't value the workers salary here. - There are countless other small issues that I could go on about but I'll leave it at this. It's sad to see what Blue has become from where it was when I started. Old Blue was a great place. It was slow, but fun. New Blue, the one Bob is running, its depressing to say the least.
