What do you like best about the leadership team?
I have the ability to speak with any leader at any level about problems and concerns I have. Additionally, there is a culture that allows difficult questions to be posed to management in a public way. I'm sure that's challenging for them but it makes for a transparent organization.
Review from Engineering Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Not being biased towards straight people. Treat the LBGTQ community the same and offer them the same advancement opportunities as the straight employees.
Review from Engineering Dept
The leadership team at Blue is not accountable and constantly shifts blame to lower levels of the organization instead of owning their responsibilities.
Review from Engineering Dept
Leadership team loves using buzz words without actually delivering any real actionable guidance. Most management and leadership levels are populated by incompetent people that either don't perform their job tasks or are so underwater they do things that are unnecessary or counter-productive.
Review from Engineering Dept
True leadership.Hire folks who build and manage launch and recovery and flight vehicles.Not the Navy Mafia and Bobs Big Boy Manager. Nepotisim mires progress. 5 launches to 1 in a short time.2 busted rockets.And a mass exodus. And no BE-3 engine but the golden unicorn. Blue went from hero to zero!

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Leadership actively tries to demean and diminish EE work and results in reviews. After a company-wide reorganization, the new leveling system is used to suppress promotion and fair valuation pay for the work you do. Expect to be rated and paid a level or 2 below what your actual delivered work is.

Below the executive leadership, everybody is on the same team working for the same goals. We may be pulled in different directions for different problems but at the end of the day everybody is willing to work to get the job done.
Review from Engineering Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Listen to complaints and check into them when they are received
Review from Engineering Dept
We need to be more like Amazon and less like Boeing.
Review from Engineering Dept
Culture is garbage. Leadership and management (not all, just lots) are incompetent. Previous failings of leadership doing there job result in them driving impossible asks of their EE base to try and compensate for their own screw-ups.
Review from Engineering Dept
Leadership upper management HR and get a real CEO.

What did you like most about the interview process?
Pre-COVID: being able to generate a presentation to highlight who I am and how my background and experiences will best contributed to the company. Also appreciated the variety of backgrounds with the interview staff to both evaluate for the applied for job and others within the company.
Review from Engineering Dept
The employees that interviewed me are my current peers and mentors. They interviewed me to be a good fit for their team. This created a more challenging and thorough vetting process. However, they were very calm and laid back during the interview which helped me to relax.
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Get on a personal level and try to get to know someone
Review from Engineering Dept
We need to show more diversity and remove barriers to entry. We need to shorten the time of our process and standardize processes across the organization.
Review from Engineering Dept
Stop hiring your friends. Hire raw qualified talent.
Review from Engineering Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
The challenging nature of the work creates a lot of growth and learning opportunities.
Review from Engineering Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
At some point you need to flush the management and leadership personnel and try again. There is little faith in the grossly (and every expanding) bureaucratic levels of padding created from the CEO on down. The promise of what Blue was supposed to be is a far cry from the direction it has gone.
