Yikes - Sr Systems Engineer Blue Origin Employee Review

Good team to work with. No complaints.

No cons at this point.

Cool work, brilliant engineers, exciting long term vision, well funded (Bezos), endless learning. I have an amazing team that solves challenges few people in the world can solve, on a frequent basis.

Sr leadership is incompetent to the point that I’m not sure the company can succeed with them at the wheel. Seeing how the sausage gets made reveals far too much. Talent is now getting harder to source because of the well-known issues along with burn out. We’re expected to lower the bar, do more with less, and cut corners. The C-suite can’t even recognize the erosion of the engineering pool because they don’t understand technical engineering principles. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more frequent failures and testing anomalies soon, it all stems from the top. Sadly if this continues I will be the next out the door.
