Pros

Amazing hardware you will learn a lot. Endless money supply. Even though most abuse this privilege. Free snacks and drinks for now.

Cons

Management is terrible. The coworkers that don't have much skill in there occupation are toxic. This leads to them talking bad about everyone else in the department and spreading untrue facts about individuals at the company. Management believes what ever they tell them. Rather than search for the truth and form there own opinion. Even if it is known a specific employee doesn't work, toxic, or just flat out can't do there job the company will never fire you. You will get fired from Mcdonalds for messing a burger up before blue ever fires you. I guess that's a plus if you don't have any skill and can sell your self enough to get a job. The company is going down hill faster than any other I have ever seen. Do yourself a favor and don't come to blue origin if you have true skill in your field. The grass is not greener over here. I wish there was someone that could help but upper management turns a blind eye and let's things continue as is. We will never be able to be a production company at this rate.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
