Got cold called for the initial screen, followed by an initial hiring manager call, followed by writing a required essay, followed by a long day of 45 minute 1-on-1s. Overall a very intense process, which I found surprising since the pay range was very low for years of experience/technical expertise. They very much were testing whether I had drank the kool-aid for Blue or the general space industry
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Walk me through Blue Origin's new rocket and technology.
Two rounds. First round was a technical phone screen with the hiring manager. Second round was a half day zoom. Requires an hour long technical presentation with questions after. After presenting, there was a series of one on ones. Everyone was very pleasant. Questions were still mostly technical but more focused on experience relevant to the role.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Blue Origin (Reston, VA) in Sept 2022
Interview
The interview was very sterile. The interviewer stuck to the script and refused to discuss anything outside of the list of questions they were asking. Not a bad thing, but didn't improve my disposition towards the company.
