I enjoyed the interview process and liked how they had us do a presentation as well as ask us technical questions. They also gave us enough time to ask questions to them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Blue Origin? What was a time where you had to pivot in a project or a previous job/experience and how did you adapt?
I applied online. I interviewed at Blue Origin (Cape Canaveral, FL) in Nov 2024
Interview
For interns, the interviews are pretty easy, interviewers tend to go easy on you and they won't pick apart your presentation or your resume. Interviews can be one to two rounds (some have a screening round). You'll know you're at your final round when you give the presentation. Be as technical as humanly possible during the presentation, follow up questions were very easy and generally not too technical. Heard back the next day. The more they like you in the presentation, the easier the technical questions tend to go.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Whats you're preferred static fire method and why?
I applied online. I interviewed at Blue Origin (Merritt Island, FL) in Nov 2025
Interview
1. Introductory conversation with the recruiter
2. CV analysis
3. If approved, 1 interview with the hiring manager, right after a prep call with the recruiter
4. If approved, 4 consecutive 45-minute interviews
5. If approved, offer is extended
It all went relativity well during my process, except for this last step. I was assigned a robotic, slow-to-respond, intransigent, and demeaning HR representative. Attempted a classic "Bait and Switch" on me, by changing the role in the employment offer, WITHOUT TELING ME! When I asked about it, he basically said that he knew what he was doing since he "has been doing this for a long time" and that the offer was final. Couldn't even bring himself to explain the difference between the job I applied for and the one offered. Obviously I didn't fall for it and declined the offer.
Don't let yourselves be fooled by this type of chicanery, it enables this bad practice.
