Blue Origin reviews

If you are a real machinist and like to work for a living stay away from Blue Origin. They are hiring machinist but all they really need is machine operators. This job was so boring. Most of the time you are sitting around waiting. If you have good ideas and would like to feel your opinions are appreciated this is not for you. Machine shop management is really taking Jeff Bazos for a ride. They work at least 45 hours a week even if there is nothing to do. They had machinist mopping floors while on overtime. If you don't want to work hard and spend Jeff’s money than this is the place for you. I'm only talking about the machine shop not the entire company. I can best describe the machine shop management as people trying to play machine shop. Five weeks had gone by from the day I started before the shop supervisor even said one word to me. I never really felt welcomed. If you are a real machinist you will be bored. Button pushers welcome to the Blue Origin Machine Shop Cult. The last time someone tried to tell the truth, management instantly made them tow the line. Shut up and do what we say. Even if it's wrong.

I received little feedback until late until the internship. Also, though everyone is very helpful, they're also very conservative in what you can work on and how quickly you should iterate. This makes sense, though, as building something that doesn't work can end up in a downed aircraft.
