      Great Company

      Pros

      Exciting and fun new space projects to work on

      Cons

      They are still figuring out their process and how to conduct business, so it’s a bit all over the place. Not staffed up enough to support new development programs.

      Asking more, giving less

      Ndt inspector level ii

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay is in-line with other space companies, scales go a bit higher but you will likely get lowballed. You do get to build spaceflight hardware, and work with cutting edge equipment. Time off is great- 4 weeks PTO, 14 holidays (6 fixed, 8 floating)

      Cons

      Blue is all about asking more and giving less. Every perk of working there is slowly fading away. Management is completely disconnected, senior management may as well be on another planet.

      There's better out there

      Pros

      Space projects, nice office, bright people, t shirts

      Cons

      When I first started it was exciting and there was a lot of hiring and cool projects to work on. Then things started to not be so great. Someone was put into a management type position as a level 2 with no previous experience and a very condescending attitude. The manager also made it impossible to hire the people that we needed due to a standard that nobody could meet. Then came the launch, and while everyone was in great spirits they laid off 1500 people via email. People were also denied their bonus as management made sure to use the "inconsistent" rating. This place has become negative and nothing like what it used to be a couple years ago.
