Being a Machinist at Blue Origin

Pros

Everything about this job is a pro. The management is always willing to listen and help with any problem. We do a lot of R&D so the job is always challenging and I learn something new almost every day.

Cons

Some of the newly hired machinists seem to have a problem with doing their job without complaining about it.

Pros

Collaborative, open communication, creative, and respectful environment. Fantastic perks e.g., bring your dog to work, free lunch on Tuesdays, and on site gym. You're challenged to come up with innovate solutions. Rapidly growing company.

Cons

Growing out of space. The closest Starbucks is a mile away.

Great culture+cutting edge mission

Pros

The company has set bold goals and are investing in cutting edge technology and excellent people. Company is developing a world class rocket propulsion group. Engineers are given latitude to make decisions and move fast in the design and development phase. Very hands on--you can actually see your design get built, tested and flown within a few years. Transparency inside the organization is great as management communicates successes, failures, and lessons frequently. Young engineers are given more responsibility faster than most companies in the aerospace industry. Excellent gym, flexible work hours.

Cons

Organizational structure is not optimal and leads to confusion over roles/responsibilities. The team is not growing fast enough to meet the program demands.
