      Pros

      It had a very positive culture right now because it has vision and money behind it. They have recruited or poached the best and the brightest, so you will come to work and feel like you're really in good company. Your co-workers will make you a better engineer every day. Overall, the company culture is great right now. Everyone from Jeff down to the lowest functionary, is really engaged, humble and personable.

      Cons

      It's definitely place only for experienced engineers who already made your mark somewhere else. Blue will not pay tuition reimbursement and there is no progression of titles like senior, I-V, due to the flat structure. Werner von Braun would be just "engineer" at Blue. Nobody special.

      Pros

      Changing humankind. Talented passionate people. Growing company. Lots of career opportunity. Start-up culture. Great perks.

      Cons

      The Seattle office is located in Kent, which can be a long commute for those in the north-end of Seattle. Well worth it though!

      Pros

      Blue puts a lot of responsibility in the hands of every employee, which makes for a good culture of mutual respect and accountability. I don't feel as if I'm being micromanaged And of course the subject of what we do is nothing less than awesome. I feel like what I'm working on now will end up in the Smithsonian some day, which is a pretty cool feeling. The work-life balance is good by start-up standards. This is a place where you can work hard, but not get burned out.

      Cons

      It's pretty hard to think of any cons. The work hours are a bit longer than your typical Big Aero company, but not unreasonably so.
