Pros

Mercury is an incredibly inviting and collaborative work environment. You will meet some of the most friendly people here. I did an internship here and they were all more than happy to lend a helping hand when I needed it. The collaborative work space makes for an incredibly effective work day. Not only will you be able to get a lot done, you will enjoy the process. I was able to take on roles in fields that both me as well as my manager were interested in and deemed suitable for my position. The customization of my job, while at the same time making a difference was terrific, and that is not something every intern can say. If I can take one thing away from my experience with Mercury, I can say that I the people and culture allowed me to learn more than I ever thought imaginable in an internship.

Cons

The only con I can think of is since I was an intern and Mercury being in the defense industry, I was certainly younger than a lot of my co workers. This did not bother me that much, but it may be worth saying. That being said there were other interns my age.

Pros

Great people. Good starting pay, bonus plan, 401k match. PTO is encouraged (at least by my direct management and others). Many company holidays and a Christmas shutdown that makes taking 2 weeks off very easy (using some PTO days). Lots of interesting work and projects. Lots of opportunity to be part of different project phases and responsibilites.

Cons

Lean teams means you're likely juggling more than what's preferred/reasonable. Changing priorities can make closing out tasks difficult. Annual salary increases around 3-5% are reasonable but can be underwhelming given the amount of work and stress the job typically requires. Never recieved any market adjustment (while other local companies have), larger than expected salary increases, or anything that shows above average employee appreciation regarding pay.
