Blue Origin reviews

HR is not about the people but the numbers. - HR requires a minimum percentage of people be put into the low performance trends. This is hard when the process is poor and small teams are high performing. - If you need a remote work agreement HR is all about the business aspect and not the human (i.e. when it’s obvious your in a family situation that temporarily needs to be remote HR focuses on the business case even when your team is fully remote and there is no impact) - There is no recommendation for number of years in a level. This causes employees to expect promotions before they are ready and causes people to then be promoted before they are ready. All this causes reaching the ceiling too quickly, burnout, frustration on the employee and management, and essentially leads to minimal ways out because other companies have expectations in years of experience.

Work like balance isn’t good due to the race to get to space. Company is young and doesn’t have processes and proper scheduling tools in place, so it’s always a bit of a frenzy and Wild West atmosphere.
