There’s an initial phone screen and a technical interview. Then you have to prepare an hour long presentation, written summary, and sit through 5 separate one-on-ones. I have to admit it took a good chunk of time, as well as PTO off work. Unfortunately, the hiring manager never showed up to the panel interview and I was told to go ahead anyway.
This meant that in addition to prep time, I wasted 3.5 hours of my own and Blue Origin engineers’ time, for an interview I wasn’t even a candidate for. It’s expected to be ghosted and/or rejected. But to make someone go through that much work and for the hiring manager to not even have the decency to show up? Disrespectful. Complete disregard for me and shows that the company is just trying to make a quota for “x” number of interviews. Recruiters were nice.

HR phone screen then hiring manager interviewer. He didn't seem to be interested in interviewing me. They just wanted to get it over with. Interview started out by the manager saying he must ask these questions because HR told him to.

J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Blue Origin
Entretien
Initial 30min Recruiter Screening that asked mostly motivation for working at Blue Origin and what technical skills you bring that match the Job Description. During the same meeting, I was told I'd be going forward to the panel interview.
My panel was 5 1-on-1 45 min sessions. Very big mixture of behavioral and technical questions depending on who you're interviewing with.
The interview process was smooth and easy to organize. Everything was set up efficiently and completed within a few weeks. There was a panel interview with several experts on the team. Overall, I had a great experience.
