Pros

-Very interesting work -Great teammates -Free snacks and drinks -Good benefits except just decent 401k match

Cons

-Upper management has openly said they don't care about employee opinions -Despite his success, company culture has taken a hit under Limp - layoffs have already happened, and there's an ever-present feeling that layoffs will become yearly and that the company will cut numbers the moment they have what they need. Objectively, Limp has done a great job on deliverables and turning the company around, but a bit of that has been at the expense of employee wellbeing -Annoying policies on WFH; used to leave it up to manager discretion, but changed to super strict in-office policy with very limited flexibility - they have teams of full-time employees dedicated to tracking your attendance

Pros

Money money money. You get paid a lot, bonuses are large. There's decently stocked kitchens all over the place and the parties are pretty lit.

Cons

Leadership aways sways to the whims of Bezos, who thinks if it works for Amazon, it works for Blue Origin. People are so in love with that massive paycheck, they give up a lot of integrity and work/life balance. It deeply bothered me that, in my late 40s, I was the oldest engineer on my program.
