Pros

It had a very positive culture right now because it has vision and money behind it. They have recruited or poached the best and the brightest, so you will come to work and feel like you're really in good company. Your co-workers will make you a better engineer every day. Overall, the company culture is great right now. Everyone from Jeff down to the lowest functionary, is really engaged, humble and personable.

Cons

It's definitely place only for experienced engineers who already made your mark somewhere else. Blue will not pay tuition reimbursement and there is no progression of titles like senior, I-V, due to the flat structure. Werner von Braun would be just "engineer" at Blue. Nobody special.

Pros

Free cheese and yogurt. Some people are nice others will make sure you fail

Cons

No equity unless you like monopoly money. No IPO for Blue ever and liquidity events are just bonus event. No work life balance. Toxic leadership who do not care about but will lie to you as long as you serve their own purpose. Everyone is looking, DO NOT come here!!! You will lose years of your life stressed out, frustrated and nothing but an average salary to show for. There are better places out there for space work
