Pros

I worked for Mercury Systems for 6 month as a contract recruiter/sourcer and I really liked it. The HR team is great. They are very helpful and professional. Very laid back environment. At the end of the day the HR team gets the job done and they are very pleasant to work with.

Cons

No cons. Nothing bad to say at all.

Pros

Good initial comp, good benefits. Lots of good people who work there.

Cons

Comp increases are few and far between after you start. Company is growing fast. But it seems like bigger it gets, management wants to control more. Not the same company I started at. Much mor stressful.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. Over the past several years, we are proud to have been able to give employees merit increases above the industry average and twice-yearly bonuses. We agree, Mercury is not the same company it was a few years ago and we understand rapid growth like ours can be challenging. With that said, we could not be happier because we have grown and added critical capabilities to our portfolio. We care about our employees and want you to feel empowered, we encourage you to have a discussion with your manager and share your suggestions about how to ensure that you are. Thanks again.

Pros

Company is fast paced and growing quickly. Challenging work environment. If you work in HR or Marketing, please ignore the cons below as they do not apply to you.

Cons

Unattainable deadlines are given with limited resources. Forget work/life balance. Expect 12 hour days with work on weekends in order to attempt to meet the deadlines. No gratitude will be shown for your additional efforts.

Thank you for this feedback. Working at a high performance organization is never dull! We set the bar high and our employees never cease to exceed it. We make a point of recognizing and rewarding success but we understand at times the rapid evolution of our business may be challenging to manage. There are times where all of us will need to put in extra hours to accomplish a common goal, however, employees should know they are always empowered to determine how their personal and professional lives integrate.
