Engine 1 failure on takeoff happened at 600 to 700 feet. We received an ENG 1 Out Message after autopilot went on and we conducted the profile and did everything we needed to do then report back to the field. We ran QRH and after completing all checklists with 2 in and 2 out before we went to land. Detection for me was the yaw movement and having to take off autopilot and hand fly to hold the aircraft stable. Cause was probably a bad engine or worn out or potentially something not being put on correctly since Maintenance said it was a newer engine that was replaced. Reaction was to do the profile and get to a safe altitude and do the checklist and QRH. Suggestions is to recheck all engines in our fleet since apparently that is the 4th engine out we've had in the recent year. Overhear Maintenance talk about it being multiple times this has happened and they mentioned this aircraft also had an engine failure from ZZZ1 to ZZZ so that's very nerve wrecking to know so many of our airplanes are having engine outs recently when for a turbine engine it should happen WAY less of a rate!
After takeoff about 600 feet we heard a loud pop followed by a roll back of the number 1 engine. We ran the checklist while working our way back to the airport. We also ran the overweight landing checklist as we were over 44;000 LBS. We landed and taxied to the gate.
Air carrier Flight Crew reported an engine failure on departure.
