Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Blue Origin en jun 2020
Entrevista
I was first contacted by HR and had a half hour interview with them, all typical behavioral questions and why I want to work at Blue, especially in this role.
Next I had a half hour phone interview with a hiring manager. Had one technical question that was a pretty simple beam statics question. Mostly talking about what I want in a job, what I would want my daily work to consist of and what other companies I am interested in.
The next interview would have been onsite but because of covid was all over Skype. I presented to 5 engineers about myself and a deep dive of a project I had worked on. The presentation was a total of 50 minutes. They were interested in my project and asked questions so I really had to know what I was talking about. They also really wanted to know my experience that related to this position and why I am interested in this position specifically. Then I had 30 minute Skype interviews with 4 of the engineers that had watched my presentation. Mostly about my interests and experiences, a little bit of technical stuff. Technical questions were mostly theoretical questions to see if I could think things through. I also had to submit a written response about my interest in human spaceflight.
This was definitely the most I have ever had to prepare for an interview, but it was a really good experience. Everyone was very nice and supportive. Just be very prepared, have good answers for why you want to work at Blue and really be able to talk about your experiences. Probably also important to note that this was for an entry level position.

Why Blue? Why an analysis role as opposed to design?
The interview process started with a technical screening that went over some of the basic principles related to the position. It lasted about 45 minutes. Questions were either asking to explain a concept or how you would design something.
The interview process was one of the most intensive compared to other comparable positions that have extended offers to me. In addition to standard 15-30 minute phone calls follwoed by an hour virtual interview with a few current employees, I had an all-day interview that required writing a reserch paper and preparing an hour slideshow presentation. This was followed by numerous breakout sessions with very specific and a very broad range of technical questions. Most could be answered in a few seconds on Google or with a textbook, yet they were in fields studied decades ago rather than what the current position entailed. THe current position closely resembled my professional experience. At the end, it was a whirlwind of an interview process and weeks leading up to it, and I left wondering what position they were even looking for and if they knew themselves.
