Vantaggi

-Good group of very intelligent and motivated people. -Interesting and challenging projects, and no lack of them. -Working environment is top notch. -Getting what you need to accomplish a task is expedient and easy. -The recruiting and interviewing process is stringent, but ensures that you will be working with qualified and passionate people. -Benefits and pay are OK. Other nice perks like weekly lunches and furnished kitchen. -IT department is the best I have ever seen at a company. -Best of all: You can bring your dog to work.

Svantaggi

-While the pay and benefits are acceptable, they could be better. The management and HR knows that people will sacrifice great benefits and pay to work at a place like Blue Origin. This is especially true for employees recently out of school. The raise system is average-or-below, and does little to elevate pay for these employees, thus forcing them to consider making moves to other companies to accomplish this. -Management structure is very flat, and new management positions are rarely filled from within, all of which makes upward movement near impossible. Pair this with the first bullet point, and things can start to feel very stagnant, especially for younger employees.

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.
