      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience

      Application

      I applied in-person. I interviewed at Blue Origin

      Interview

      First round was an informal phone call with a recruiter. Second round was a technical phone screening. Third round was a video call via skype with the team I was interviewing for.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What do you know about Blue Origin and what interests you about working here?

      1
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Blue Origin (Kent, WA) in Dec 2015

      Interview

      Initial very brief phone screen with a recruiter. We talked a little bit about my interests and why I wanted to work for Blue. The next day, he set me up for a phone interview with a senior engineer at the company. We mostly talked about the design project I worked on for my Formula SAE team. It was mostly a technical discussion about some of the design decisions I made for the project. I felt okay but not amazing about the interview, and was reasonably surprised when my recruiter called the next day asking if I wanted to head up to Kent, WA for an on-site interview. They flew me up a few weeks later. When I got there, I got a tour of the plant (which is amazing, by the way!), after which I gave a presentation to about 6 engineers. The presentation had to last about 30 minutes, though they gave me an hour time slot so they could ask questions. I had to talk about my background, interests, technical skills, and give a brief rundown of my resume in the first part of the presentation. In the second part, I had to talk about a technical project I had worked on. After the presentation, I had a one-on-one interview with each of the engineers who sat in on my presentation. They mostly asked more questions about my technical project, as well as a few other questions which I've highlighted below. The hardest questions I got were questions about optimizing a wing spar (ie cantilevered beam) for increasing natural frequency and for strength. At some point during the day, a potential supervisor and potential coworkers took me out to lunch nearby. Got to the plant at around 9am, left at about 4pm. About a week later, I got call saying that they were going to pass on me. I was surprised, because I thought I did very well. They were looking for someone with more FEA and manufacturing experience than me at the end of the day. I think part of their decision was based on a few philosophical differences that I had with the team on the way I executed certain parts of my technical project. I probably would have benefited by being a little less stubborn and agreeing with them a little more, and telling them what they wanted to hear.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Blue Origin (Los Angeles, CA) in Jul 2019

      Interview

      I applied for the Avionics Software Engineer position for new graduates. In two weeks, I conducted a 30-minute phone interview with someone from HR. I then scheduled to do a one hour technical phone interview with one of the engineers at the company. In the first half of the technical interview, I was supposed to write a simple program in C++, and in the second half, the interviewer asked a couple of technical and behavioral questions and also allowed me to ask a couple of questions about the company. Three weeks after the interview, I was notified that they decided to not move forward with the interview process.

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Blue Origin (Kent, WA) in Apr 2019

      Interview

      I first had a non-technical phone screen with one of their recruiters. Afterwards, I had a more technical phone-screen with one of their engineers. They essentially asked me to go through my resume and explain on of my projects in depth. After a few weeks, they called me to do an on-site interview. On-site, they first gave a tour of the facility (which is awesome!!). I then had to present for one hour on my resume and a technical project I had worked on. After that were four one-on-one interviews, which were mostly talking about my resume and working through a few technical problems.
