Pros

The advantage of Blue Origin is prevalent in every company, very common benefits, nothing special.

Cons

My comments are mostly related to Lunar Transportation, however, other groups at Blue Origin More or less suffer from the same issues: 1- There seems to be a mismatch between the roles and expertise of some team leaders. In the last year, level 2 or level 3 engineers, that are still in their learning period have been promoted to engineering managers. Unfortunately, these people are too incompetent from the technical perspective to be able to manage a project, and from time to time this lack of competency hurts the flow of a project. 2- The team atmosphere can be challenging. It often feels highly politicized, which can hinder collaboration and open communication. 3- Blue Origin is full of arrogant people who think they are developing state-of-the-art technology. However, their method and standard of development are less than cheap commercial products. 4- Just build a few years of space industry experience and bounce, this place is bogus.
