A wonderful place to work

Pros

Amazing work environment in newly built offices across 3 states, with state of the art technologies, snack bars, gyms, and don't forget you can take your dogs to work. Great relocation package. Extremely supportive leadership, always ready to help with advice and actions. Ability to work in a rapidly growing organization alongside exceptional individuals where everyone's voice is heard and ideas are taken seriously. Opportunity to receive high quality training, and support multiple different projects. Blue Origin is one of the few companies who during the COVID-19 pandemic refused to downsize and lose a single employee because of their high values and long-term vision.

Cons

Surprised to see so many negative comments from peers. In my opinion it does not represent the true state of events in the company. We recently made the shift from solely R&D to a company that is in production mode and looking to generate revenue. These factors with the addition of massive growth is bound to create turnover and some negative reviews among people who are not ready to accept change. If you come here to learn, grow and solve some of this generation's most challenging problems, then it's going to become your favorite place to work.

Pros

* you will see Peter's principle fail because people in leadership have risen two or three levels above their level of incompetence * Work on space stuff and general availability of funds to get any tool you want

Cons

* Low salaries * Poor management * Leadership has fostered a bad engineering culture * Very egoistic people
