Blue Origin reviews

By far the the best thing about Blue are the fellow engineers. There are so many brilliant people to learn from and befriend. The chaos at Blue is an opportunity. Options include: -Change career paths and learn a new skill all while being paid! Learning is the main reason this is a 4-star review. -Identify a missing element in the company and create your own department. -Start a technical focus group. -Get funding to attend a conference or obtain special training in a skills useful to the company. -Propose a new product/invention that is useful to the mission and obtain funding to develop it. -Work 40 hours a week (if you want). -A good amount of free beer and social events. In short, if you look at the company progress as a whole you may be disappointed at Blue. If you are entrepreneurial there are many opportunities to learn and experiment here on the individual level. That, and all the lifelong friends I have made, are why I recommend it.

Amazing goals, about one of the only two places you can work that's actively developing new rocket engines and an orbital launch vehicle. Decent work-life balance, 4 weeks PTO, gym access, company provided snacks, daily food trucks and lunch delivery service at the company headquarters. Also, a wealth of experienced engineers and other technical people for new employees to learn from. Company culture generally values learning and doing things the right way.
