#BLUE ORIGIN CAREERS UPDATE#
We’ve reached out to Blue Origin and JLL about the memo, and will update this report with anything we hear back. The memo was issued last month by Jones Lang LaSalle, the sales adviser for the sellers, and was brought to light this week by the Puget Sound Business Journal. The workforce at Blue Origin, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ space venture, has been growing by leaps and bounds - and so has the need for office and lab space.Ī memo laying out a real-estate sales offering suggests that Renton, Wash., the Seattle suburb right next door to Blue Origin’s headquarters in Kent, is a prime destination for many of the company’s 3,000-plus employees in the area. I am happy to answer any other questions you might have.An illustration shows Blue Origin’s office building in Renton, Wash. Interpreting complex prints, how I would manufacture a component and why I would do it that way, more involved analysis of the two project presented earlier.Īll told, it was easily the most exhausting interview I have ever been through. After my first hour, I had 30 min one-on-one with each of them for discussion and questions. My second interview had the hiring manager, another manager, the director of manufacturing engineering, the director of engineering, and two experienced engineers. The presentation was to be: - 10-15 min about my background, including why I wanted to work at Blue) - 20 min each on two different projects that I would consider to be significant examples as to why I would be a good fit - The remaining time for questions As you said, I had to present on myself and my background for an hour. The second interview is much more involved. This may very from what you experience, I have friends who went through this interview with other managers and they said their experience was much more laid back. "What is the one thing you could change that would most effect the ability of a flagpole to stand up in the wind without changing the height or material properties of the flagpole."Įssentially, very abstract, thinking questions. "Walk me through the thought process on how you would calculate the number of pizzas made/consumed in Seattle in a year." No straight up technical questions, but two did stick out.

Finally, the questions went in a more abstract technical direction.

The questions then moved to specifics about the job I applied for and how I would fit there. The manager I interviewed with is notoriously picky and difficult to read in a first interview, but he asked the normal questions about my previous difficulties, my experiences, and what I was looking for in a position at Blue. The structure will vary depending on the manager for the technical interview. Next comes the technical interview with the hiring manager. I am assuming based on you asking this that you are through the initial phone screen.
