Blue Origin reviews

Cost cutting initiatives are coming. They cut our snacks, summer events, catered meeting lunches, new employee lunches... I'm sure more to come. Lots of managers that need to be trained better on how to manage their team. Some teams have poor and toxic team dynamics. Limited career growth, especially if you're not a white male. Definitely many traditional older white males (mostly shop floor folks) who look at you like 'what are you talking about' and make you feel stupid, rather than help you to understand. Poor raise/bonus/promotion policies. No direction in career growth. Potential to pigeon-hole yourself in one field. Definitely "step by step" even the software.... Program/launch/schedule delays. Poor supplier quality management. Poor purchasing decision making. Traditional aerospace culture is present, be wary of red tape restrictions. Pretty common for someone to be hired to do something they don't specialize in, significantly reducing employee effectiveness. Software/processes/CAD programs are buggy, weak, messy, needs to be improved. Significantly reduces company effectiveness as a whole.

Some of the "growing pains" referenced in the more negative reviews are present - but it is best to view those as opportunities and many of the changes are necessary to advance the products and company to the next stage of maturity. There is a lot of hard work to be done (long hours) but I find that I *want* to do it and I am happier here than I was working fewer hours in previous jobs.
