Brad Stone's newest book about Amazon goes into it. In short, Bezos hired leadership poorly. Those hires led to a culture akin to a legacy rocket company like ULA.
You know the meme about devs going to Google to rest and vest? That's the reputation Blue Origin has in the space industry according to Stone.
- carabiner 5y agoThis, exactly. They hired the aerospace equivalent of IBM and Oracle executives to manage the company, and Bezos doesn't have the technical expertise to distinguish why this is bad. BO has a lot of former SpaceXers as junior/midlevel engineers who have moved on from "hustling" in their twenties under Musk, and now want to start families, and have lives, in Seattle.
