Pros

Top talent. Never boring. Interesting work. High pay.

Cons

Zero job security. Hyper-micro management of technical details by career driven VPs (50 total at Blue) and CEO. CEO has goofy ideas about manufacturing -- is trying to turn Blue Origin into Facebook or Twitter.

Pros

On-site gym. Food trucks on rotation. Flexible hours and Overtime opportunities. Travel opportunities to other sites

Cons

Lots of leadership changes; getting the right support can be a challenge. Metrics for everything, but on the ground, it's hard to see if it's being used for anything beneficial.
