Vantaggi

-Motivated, talented and passionate teammates -Exciting technology, exciting mission

Svantaggi

-No incentive to perform. People routinely perform job scopes beyond their role, and management refuses to promote them regardless of how much work or time they put in to critical projects. No bonuses, no real equity, annual raises that barely match inflation, managers that fight you on promotions rather than advocating for you. -While internal advancement paths are essentially dead in the water, new leadership keeps getting pulled from "legacy" aerospace companies all the time. Week by week, the hierarchy just keeps getting fatter with managers whose contribution is questionable. -Not learning from mistakes. Multi page memos get written on lessons learned from a failed project, and then a new program gets stood up and proceeds to make the exact same mistakes. -Leadership says the right things but does the wrong things. Fool me once, shame on me, fool me 50 times I have no faith in management anymore. -Penny pinching on simple things like snacks because they are "too expensive" when company morale is at an all-time low -Combative processes that work against the end user instead of for them. Processes come from the top down, and management does not listen to the end users when they voice complaints. Blue Origin has everything on paper to enable success. Long term funding, a strong strategic vision, passionate employees on the ground level. Yet somehow, it has morphed into an incompetent, toxic trainwreck of an organization.

Svantaggi

Leadership is inconsistent and often incompetent, company is very segmentalized and each group operates to different goals and schedules, poor communication with other parts of the company and with leadership. There is an overarching Yes-men mentality amongst leadership, and they often are just aiming to not be the group to be to blame for delays or failures. Personal growth is limited and widely ranges between different groups, there are areas where people see regular raises and promotions, while the majority seems to be told there are freezes or that they will be put in for next cycle. Pay has fallen behind, in the past they used to pay well and above the industry standard, but have not kept pace. Hours can be very long, again dependent on your group, some people may enjoy things like work from home or flexible schedules, but the majority are asked to work long hours and even support roles that could be remote are forced to be on site, despite a lack of space for the number of employees. I moved desks locations and buildings 6 times in 3 years. Re-orgs happen every 6 months, and create significant instability within the company, but rarely bring positive improvements. Good talent is not rewarded, and leaving quickly.
