Pros

There are some very intelligent, capable, and trustworthy people working at Blue Origin. The Blue Moon project and team are inspiring.

Cons

Senior leadership (especially the COO and his cronies) are impotent and over the last couple years have built a toxic environment that does not foster original thought, innovation, or the pursuit of real success. Instead it only uses the stick to motivate people and sacrifices great people to make a point, but never teaches what that point is. Hence why Blue Origin did not break 10 million viewers for a launch of astronauts to the ISS this past weekend. Due to the toxic environment, the company works in silos where teams and team members do not share solutions, information or work well together to accomplish team or company goals. This leads to overly complicated designs and solutions or policies to be created that only work in a narrow set of circumstances. Aside from the Blue Moon initiative and team, the other programs are chasing solutions that are not innovative or advancing aerospace technology in any meaningful way, most of which do not even work after years of development. There has been a mass exodus of many intelligent, high performing people talent leaving for other companies over the last 2 years, including myself.

Pros

Excellent working environment Good Pay Good Benefits A mission I can stand behind There are far too many negative reviews on Glassdoor.com that do not accurately represent the company as a whole. Is Blue Perfect? No. However, I have been in the aerospace industry for 13 years and this is by far the best job I have ever had. Blue brings passion back into my work everyday and I feel very fortunate to be working around incredibly smart people who share the same passion.

Cons

Aerospace is a difficult industry to navigate through. At times there are frustrations just like any other industry or company. However, nothing during my 6 mo here at Blue would warrant a negative review of the company.
