The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Blue Origin in Mar 2016
Interview
I submitted my resume and received a phone call in record time. Set up a non-technical (HR) interview that resulted in a second more technical interview (Developer). During the second interview, I asked the developer what a typical work week was like and I lost a ton of steam when he mentioned the 50hrs+ of expected work hours. Nonetheless, I was told I'd receive more information about an in person interview, but the next day I received a voice mail and an email urgently requesting that I call in. So, I dial in expecting to make arrangements for the in-person interview only for the HR person to tell me they are looking for somebody more technical. It was pretty offensive and it seemed intentional. Oh well...

Question 1
Typical tell me about your experience questions + Why Blue Origin?
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Blue Origin (Kent, WA)
Interview
I had an interview with a technical recruiter. He seemed to know a lot about Blue Origin from the high-level. However, he was pretty pretentious when talking about Blue Origin and the CEO of it, Jeff Bezos. I understand that recruiters have to hype up their company during the interview, but this guy was just arrogant about it and it left a bad taste in my mouth. He asked the typical questions that recruiters ask for software dev positions.
That was the first bad thing. The second is that he told me that he would contact me the following week, but of course never did. So after waiting a few days after he said he would contact me, I sent him an email, and of course, no reply.
In short - the interviewer was unprofessional, arrogant, and pretentious. I am definitely never applying to Blue Origin ever again.
