Pros

Building rockets is amazing and the mission is really inspiring.

Cons

Can't keep Sr. Leaders and the turn over rate is embarrassing. Bob Smith is completely out of touch and never leaves his ivory tower. This is the only company I've ever worked for where you're practically forbidden to speak with Sr. Leaders! Hopefully Jeff Bezos will step in at some point and get this company functioning correctly so employees will stop running out the door.

Pros

Free coffee and snacks and a slice of pizza when New Glenn launched and landed. They years before Blue gave everyone a 10K bonus for the New Shepard first human flight, they have since shut the entire program down.

Cons

Too many to list. The high performers get hit the hardest. I went 8 months without out missing a day, pick up other incomplete projects. After 8 years I received zero stock options which was promised at time of hire. When I left Blue had 383 people with Director in their title and had 40 VPs. Blue even posted a picture of the Chief Engineers on their Facebook page, they had 42! I was there for 8 years and my title never changed, every year they promised a promotion but they never come. I have 2 Masters degrees my Sr Manager had an A.A in arts, once he made Sr Director he was there for 6 months and moved to Andril. The pad repairs will take a year and they will loose the FCC bandwidth which will make them obsolete.
