I used to love working at Blue, but it saddens me when I think about what the company has turned into. - Anonymous employee Blue Origin Employee Review

Pros

Working on New Shepard and supporting the company to FHF was one of the best moments of my career. The problems were complex, but very rewarding. Also, I met so many smart and humble people at Blue who truly made work enjoyable.

Cons

After FHF, the rosy colored lens were ripped off my face. I was promoted and starting sitting in meetings with senior leaders and I was appalled with the toxicity amongst the L1's. The CFO was constantly attacking low level analysts, the CEO belittled directors and made people join Sunday meetings, and there were so many ex-honeywell employees (aka Bob's friends) who wouldn't stand up to him even though we knew he was wrong. Without an attainable goal in the near distance, I was quickly burnt out after 2 months of my promotion so I left the company. I used to stand by Blue Origin and drink the kool-aid, but working there as a manager wasn't worth it.

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.
