      I love this company and what it does for its customers

      Pros

      I've been with Mercury for longer than I wish to admit, having joined the company during one of the previous tech booms. I joined for the team, the technology, and the mission, and I would join up again today for the same set of reasons. The work environment has remained dynamic, terribly challenging since day 1, and I love the camaraderie which is the heart and sole of why I think customers want to do business with Mercury. I've had the pleasure of going to a handful of customer locations where they have shown us what Mercury, its technology, engineering prowess, and product capabilities are doing for their customers. The new facilities and collaboration tooling is fun to use.

      Cons

      I've seen through my friends in other industries the level of engineering agility that they are using as a weapon to pursue growth and customers. I'm struggling a bit with how to adopt and use some of those practices at Mercury.

      We appreciate your feedback and thorough review. Also, thank you for your many years of dedicated service! We love hearing from employees like you. If there are specific technologies or applications that your friends in other industries are using, we would love to hear more about them and we are sure your manager would too. In the past year, most if not all Mercury locations established new engagement teams. The teams are always looking for new members and we welcome you to join at any time. Recently, Mark Aslett met with the leads of engagement teams to review engagement activities and plans to help us better align with the needs of employees in each site. Lifelong learning has continued to be of utmost importance and the talent team has been working to bring more tangible training opportunities to employees. Thanks again so much for this review and all you do for the company and your colleagues!

      Thanks for your feedback! We are happy to see employees using the communication technology available to them to collaborate across the organization. Our state-of-the-art conference rooms, the Surface Hubs in SCRUM areas and Skype for Business are key to our ability to partner with one another and achieve our strategic goals. As of this calendar year we have new health and dental insurance providers. Our health insurance provider offers a sizeable annual fund to employers for wellness programs which you’ll be seeing put to use at all sites in the coming months. We agree competitive wages are important and we strive to ensure we have the latest data on salary trends in our industry and within our job architecture. Pay is just one part of our “total rewards” philosophy and your manager or HR business partner are always available to discuss your personal goals for any part of it. Thank you again for taking the time to post a review. We really do appreciate your feedback!

      Was Once a Great Company

      Pros

      Very Talented Teams from Engineering to Production

      Cons

      Employees working through weekends and holidays are belittled for not producing more products! The environment is incredibly hostile and the executive management team is fed a constant diet of half truths from the General Managers. There is a leadership vacuum at the upper levels below the Executive Management team that if not addressed will force some very talented individuals to leave.

      We agree that Mercury is full of talented and dedicated people at all levels. We also understand that we are growing very quickly and the pace of our evolution can be challenging. Employees should always feel empowered to determine the right balance of their work and personal lives. However, hostility of any kind for any reason will not be tolerated and if that is the case we want to know so that we can address it directly. Please report any issues of that kind to your manager, HRBP or call/email the anonymous hotline 866 277 5739/mrcy@openboard.info Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, feel free to leave a new one with an update on your perspective! Thanks again, we appreciate your feedback.
