Blue Origin Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

The company mission to improve access to space

The team cooperation is good

The excitement for space exploration.

The celebrations of achieving milestones

Building rocket ships knowing you are helping advance science and space

Review from Engineering Dept

We have flexible schedules, a team that looks to minimize bureaucracy and is open to making changes quickly

The vision that our founder has for the future of space

Within engineering and on the floor everybody I work with on a day to day basis is extremely hard working and smart. We are given a reasonable amount of responsibility and authority and have resources to supplement our own experience.

It is safe to take informed risks at the team level.

That maybe Jeff will show up one day and make a real company out of blue

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.
