Pros

Blue Origin is a unique aerospace company with stable funding and a distinct lack of bureaucracy. It is still small enough that everyone's efforts have a direct impact on the vehicles we build and fly. It's a great place to be an engineer. There is a high concentration of talented people, and the culture is friendly.

Cons

We're still developing our business processes and systems. There is schedule pressure and a heavy workload to meet the challenges set by our owner and senior management. But, better that than boredom!

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.
