Pros

Not many. .If , you want to work long hours and not be appreciated or treated horribly. . Then Mercury will be for you. Company sent us all surveys 2 years in a row. Scores where some of the worst in the industry . Management has dog a ponny shows about how they care about employees and their families. All lies. . Business as usual. Until Mercury starts with new management. Amazing talent will continue to leave. Company announces million dollar contacts weekly.. Yet.. No Christmas bonus or formal party. Horrible raises. On. And on..

Cons

So many cons. . Management with no management skills. Supervisors who can't read nor right in English. Work weekends and holidays with no recognition nor rewards. . Disrespected daily. Hostile work environment. No work.. life balance. . Don't plan on seeing your family if you work here. .

At Mercury, our goal is to create the best possible environment for our talent community. We are grateful for all of our employees and strive to make their experience here rewarding and fulfilling. To that end, the Mercury you describe in your review is not the one I know, at any of our sites, Phoenix included. The results of our recent culture survey support the notion that while we are not without opportunities to improve, we are well above the industry averages in the areas of employee engagement, contentment, professional development to name a few. Specifically, the Phoenix site rated above the overall Mercury average in 8/10 categories. The leadership team has worked to create an environment in which employees are empowered to define their own work-life integration, balancing it with the understanding that we are a results-driven, high-performance organization. I am concerned about your feedback and take it very seriously however, I need more information and detail in order to dig in and make changes where necessary to ensure my perception of our culture in Phoenix is true for all employees there (and beyond). I would like you to reach out to me personally to discuss the issues you referenced in detail so that together we can get to the bottom of them and further, address and correct them. I can be reached in the following ways: phone, (669) 226-5815, email, charles.leader@mrcy.com, or face-to-face. Please contact me promptly. I am eager to learn what I may be missing and act quickly to resolve anything that is amiss. Sincerely, Charlie Leader, SVP & GM, Advanced Microelectronics Solutions

A growing and vibrant company that’s not afraid to try something new or take a risk. A specific emphasis is placed on cultures and values, transparency of communications, and all things that matter...to not only the shareholders, but also the employees. A great place to work!!

Cons

My commute is a bit longer now, but that was a personal choice

We're so glad you love the people here and your job! Those are two big goals of our leadership team. We also understand that long hours can be tough, and you should feel empowered to determine your "work/life integration" balance and ensure that you stick to it. Regarding your advice to pay attention: we're all eyes and ears - looking at and listening through many different means! If there is a specific area or issue that needs attention, please feel free to reach out to your manager, HRBP or any member of the leadership team and bring it to the forefront. We all strive to maintain an open-door policy so that any member of our valued talent team feels comfortable raising concerns. Thank you again for your feedback!
