Pros

Management empowers you. If you need something, management wants you to let them know and they will usually accommodate. The culture here is really laid back in comparison to previous employers for whom I've worked. Here at Blue they trust their employees and don't micromanage unnecessarily, which I really appreciate. Working her is not about punching in or out, rather, they expect you to get your job done and don't make you work a certain schedule. They are very accommodating. Blue is doing very cutting edge things and if new technology benefits Blue, they will see if and how can be incorporated into programs. If you go to large companies (Boeing, Pratt and Whitney) it can take decades to get things approved to use. Blue is quick responding to changing times and doesn't have bureaucracy to go through to get things done.

Cons

In my experience, I haven't had many cons to say. Currently we have to work with a lot of outside vendors to get what we need done. We need more in-house capabilities.

Pros

Free cheese and yogurt. Some people are nice others will make sure you fail

Cons

No equity unless you like monopoly money. No IPO for Blue ever and liquidity events are just bonus event. No work life balance. Toxic leadership who do not care about but will lie to you as long as you serve their own purpose. Everyone is looking, DO NOT come here!!! You will lose years of your life stressed out, frustrated and nothing but an average salary to show for. There are better places out there for space work
