Pros

- When I first started, there was a sense of vision: "millions of people living and working in space" - Overall, I really enjoyed working with my coworkers - Teams can provide a sense of community and support

Cons

- Another reviewer seems to believe that negative reviews are fake. I can attest that I heard many of these negative sentiments from coworkers during my time at the company. This type of 'cheerleader' reviewer was the last straw for me. Things are not sunny at Blue for many employees. - I left for another engineering position and now wonder why it took me so long to realize that Blue was an abusive workplace for me - no consideration for my personal development or goals with a side of negativity and blame every time I brought up an issue.

Pros

Free coffee and snacks and a slice of pizza when New Glenn launched and landed. They years before Blue gave everyone a 10K bonus for the New Shepard first human flight, they have since shut the entire program down.

Cons

Too many to list. The high performers get hit the hardest. I went 8 months without out missing a day, pick up other incomplete projects. After 8 years I received zero stock options which was promised at time of hire. When I left Blue had 383 people with Director in their title and had 40 VPs. Blue even posted a picture of the Chief Engineers on their Facebook page, they had 42! I was there for 8 years and my title never changed, every year they promised a promotion but they never come. I have 2 Masters degrees my Sr Manager had an A.A in arts, once he made Sr Director he was there for 6 months and moved to Andril. The pad repairs will take a year and they will loose the FCC bandwidth which will make them obsolete.
