If you had to improve workstation throughput by 20% in 4 weeks, how would you spend your first 48 hours?
I applied online. I interviewed at Blue Origin in Feb 2026
Interview
30 minute call with recruiter going over experience, set up 4 hour virtual interview, Four 1 on 1 sessions.
Was told I would hear back "In a few days". Took 2 weeks to get back to me. Recruiter saw my resume with ~2.5 years work experience and decided for level II since the req was for any level. Was told that all 4 interviewers liked me but I didn't have enough experience for level II (3+ years) so they didn't give me an offer. Why even interview me and make me take the day off if you aren't willing the budge 6 months on total work experience.
