Pros
The company offered four weeks of PTO, which was combined with sick leave. While this can be seen as both a pro and a con, depending on how you use it, it was a benefit to consider. Additionally, the overall benefits package was decent.
Cons
During my time at Blue Origin, I found that the HR management was often disorganized and struggled to provide clear direction. There was a noticeable lack of support from both my team and my manager, which significantly impacted my overall experience. When I was laid off, the process left me feeling undervalued and questioning my professional skills and knowledge. The work environment at Blue Origin can be extremely demanding, to the point where it feels like you are being pushed to your limits. Unfortunately, this environment contributed to my personal struggles and self-doubt. Based on my experience, I would advise HR professionals to carefully consider this workplace. The support and recognition you might expect may not be present, and the demands can be overwhelming.
