      Ship Is Sinking

      Pros

      Been working at Blue for over 3 years and boy oh boy is it going down due to all the new Amazon leadership. The only pros at this point are the company name and getting that on your resume.

      Cons

      The hiring managers are beyond frustrated as well and the entire company is on edge with a mass exodus happening across almost every organization.

      Exciting work. Requires putting up with 1000 cuts

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Extremely passionate and kind people Compelling mission and contracts to back it up Exciting engineering challenges and competence to meet those challenges. Shout out Lunar carrying the torch

      Cons

      Blue spent a long time chasing perfection and is still learning not to. Lots of little things add up to major frustrations and schedule pressure prevents people from stopping and changing the little things. Good people leave b/c of the "1000 cuts". Stock options famously bad. If you are persistent and can look past these things Blue is a great place to work.

      Interesting work but a lot of chaos

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Interesting work, rockets are cool. Lots of opportunities to contribute. Everyone is very passionate about space.

      Cons

      The processes, deliverables, and teams are constantly changing. Schedules are still aggressive, were created without engineering input, and must be met no matter what. Everyone is afraid of being the team that doesn't meet schedule. Your boss does not have your back, and your boss' boss does not have their back. In software, pay is significantly lower than other companies in the area, but they're moving towards an Amazon culture (stack ranking and surveillance).
