Pros

Amazing hardware you will learn a lot. Endless money supply. Even though most abuse this privilege. Free snacks and drinks for now.

Cons

Management is terrible. The coworkers that don't have much skill in there occupation are toxic. This leads to them talking bad about everyone else in the department and spreading untrue facts about individuals at the company. Management believes what ever they tell them. Rather than search for the truth and form there own opinion. Even if it is known a specific employee doesn't work, toxic, or just flat out can't do there job the company will never fire you. You will get fired from Mcdonalds for messing a burger up before blue ever fires you. I guess that's a plus if you don't have any skill and can sell your self enough to get a job. The company is going down hill faster than any other I have ever seen. Do yourself a favor and don't come to blue origin if you have true skill in your field. The grass is not greener over here. I wish there was someone that could help but upper management turns a blind eye and let's things continue as is. We will never be able to be a production company at this rate.

Pros

Free coffee and snacks and a slice of pizza when New Glenn launched and landed. They years before Blue gave everyone a 10K bonus for the New Shepard first human flight, they have since shut the entire program down.

Cons

Too many to list. The high performers get hit the hardest. I went 8 months without out missing a day, pick up other incomplete projects. After 8 years I received zero stock options which was promised at time of hire. When I left Blue had 383 people with Director in their title and had 40 VPs. Blue even posted a picture of the Chief Engineers on their Facebook page, they had 42! I was there for 8 years and my title never changed, every year they promised a promotion but they never come. I have 2 Masters degrees my Sr Manager had an A.A in arts, once he made Sr Director he was there for 6 months and moved to Andril. The pad repairs will take a year and they will loose the FCC bandwidth which will make them obsolete.
