Pros

Working on New Shepard and supporting the company to FHF was one of the best moments of my career. The problems were complex, but very rewarding. Also, I met so many smart and humble people at Blue who truly made work enjoyable.

Cons

After FHF, the rosy colored lens were ripped off my face. I was promoted and starting sitting in meetings with senior leaders and I was appalled with the toxicity amongst the L1's. The CFO was constantly attacking low level analysts, the CEO belittled directors and made people join Sunday meetings, and there were so many ex-honeywell employees (aka Bob's friends) who wouldn't stand up to him even though we knew he was wrong. Without an attainable goal in the near distance, I was quickly burnt out after 2 months of my promotion so I left the company. I used to stand by Blue Origin and drink the kool-aid, but working there as a manager wasn't worth it.

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
