      Pros

      Passionate, dedicated and smart employees who give it their all.

      Cons

      President is a bottleneck. Could certainly stand to use best practices in all arenas. Many times, it's not necessary to reinvent the wheel.

      Promises and potential struggling with growth

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Exciting, challenging, hands-on work. Long term vision and dedication from Bezos. Starting to change stagnant business practices.

      Cons

      Upper management levels are out of their league, unable to manage company growth and production of rockets. Too many managers from traditional aerospace unable to adjust their practices and instead shield themselves from all decision making. Growth has resulted in large amounts of employees just muddling through while approx 1/3 of core employees do the heavy lifting.

      Good place right now

      Pros

      It had a very positive culture right now because it has vision and money behind it. They have recruited or poached the best and the brightest, so you will come to work and feel like you're really in good company. Your co-workers will make you a better engineer every day. Overall, the company culture is great right now. Everyone from Jeff down to the lowest functionary, is really engaged, humble and personable.

      Cons

      It's definitely place only for experienced engineers who already made your mark somewhere else. Blue will not pay tuition reimbursement and there is no progression of titles like senior, I-V, due to the flat structure. Werner von Braun would be just "engineer" at Blue. Nobody special.
