Vantaggi

The advantage of Blue Origin is prevalent in every company, very common benefits, nothing special.

Svantaggi

My comments are mostly related to Lunar Transportation, however, other groups at Blue Origin More or less suffer from the same issues: 1- There seems to be a mismatch between the roles and expertise of some team leaders. In the last year, level 2 or level 3 engineers, that are still in their learning period have been promoted to engineering managers. Unfortunately, these people are too incompetent from the technical perspective to be able to manage a project, and from time to time this lack of competency hurts the flow of a project. 2- The team atmosphere can be challenging. It often feels highly politicized, which can hinder collaboration and open communication. 3- Blue Origin is full of arrogant people who think they are developing state-of-the-art technology. However, their method and standard of development are less than cheap commercial products. 4- Just build a few years of space industry experience and bounce, this place is bogus.

Vantaggi

4 weeks of PTO, good benefits, free drinks and snacks available at all locations.

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.
