"After publication of the essay, Ars spoke with several current and former employees who have provided reliable information in the past about the company. Although it is clear the essay was a product of disgruntled workers, these sources agreed that there were elements of truth in the essay. For these sources, the withering criticism of Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos, and his hand-picked chief executive, Bob Smith, rang especially true."

...which speaks far more to Ars upholding journalistic standards than to the essay containing a high % of quality data.

(Still, comparing Blue Origin's achievements with those of younger, likely far-less-well capitalized SpaceX...there sure seems to something badly wrong with Blue Origin.)
