I applied online. I interviewed at Blue Origin in Feb 2026
Interview
Got reached out via email about some screening questions to where I was scheduled for a technical interview. During the interview, the interviewer wasn't told on how to conduct it and to reach out to the recruiter. It started off with questions about my background and then why blue. Then for 15 mins, I had to solve an AI assisted hackerrank where I had to debug a todo list. Then I was told for the panel interviews I had to create a portfolio on a project which I choose a prev internship experience. For the 3 separate panel interviews I never presented the project and instead answered more leadership questions followed by a technical assessment. The first was more math heavy based on percentiles, second was a technical talk, third was a weird variation of counting the number of children in a tree. I had to reach out the recruiter after 2 weeks for an update after.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What's the difference between an array and a linked list?
30 min screen, then mandatory mission discussion, 2 hour virtual tech screen on a problem that was very vague OOP, the interviewer got very frustrated that they weren't being understood but refused to type out the question so I could even visualize/process what was being asked in before having to start writing some code
