      Pros

      There are many Pros. For me the biggest include – Sophisticated, friendly culture that is actively maintained – Challenging (in a good way) suite of customer solutions that really do matter – And a management team with clear vision, purpose and executable strategy.

      Cons

      The few cons are so minor, they are hardly worth mentioning – So I won’t:)

      Great people to work with, not such great people to work under

      Pros

      -I'm never bored with my work. The projects I work on mix up enough to stay interesting, but are within my comfort zone enough that I rarely feel in over my head -The people on the teams I've worked with and the immediate managers I've worked for have always been great people. -Good benefits and pay.

      Cons

      -Confounding decisions that are detrimental to our ability to get our work done are regularly passed down from the higher ups with no transparency or two-way communication. -A lot of lip service is paid to making Mercury "a great place to work" but the higher ups only care about Mercury looking like a great place to work, not about it being a great place to work, and will sacrifice the latter in the name of the former. -We're often bounced around from project to project, which makes it harder to do good work on any one of them.
