I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Blue Origin in Oct 2018
Interview
Long and intensive process; needed to create a PowerPoint presentation detailing previous projects without breaking NDAs, short summary of why I have a passion for space. Then flew into Kent HQ for an all day interview starting with the presentation then about 20 minutes for questions, then a round robin of individual interviews.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Blue Origin (Kent, WA)
Interview
Around 3 phone interviews with HR; lightly technical. Focused really on “Why do you want to work for Blue Origin?” Then followed by an invitation to interview in person. I had to prepare a 1 hour PowerPoint presentation in which I spoke about my experiences in depth without divulging proprietary info: 50 minutes of me followed by 10 minutes of Q&A from the group. From there it broke into 1 on 1 round robins; about 15-30 mins each. Then the team took me out to lunch. I figured this was the “social interview” or “can we have a beer after work with this person” kind of interview. After lunch it was another few round robins then I was done.
