      Pros

      I was able to work with some great Engineers. They helped me when I needed it and I was able to help them when they needed it. I learned a lot the time I was there. When the times were good, the group I worked in felt like a second family. I ended up developing many long last friendships here.

      Cons

      Layoffs hurt as that seemed to be the first choice (rather than the last) when it comes to cost cutting. There were years that there were not any raises so it hurt financially when healthcare costs went up and your paycheck did not. Information didn't always flow from upper management to the lower ranks.

      Pros

      The HR strives to create a pleasant environment ... This is artificial and has an impersonal outcome. For newcomers this seems enough though. Great engineers were still around at the time of my departure. These engineers are the ones who kept this entity breathing during the years. Nothing else!

      Cons

      During 7 years, previous to acquisition by Mercury, I have seen politics, positions rewarded on loyalty and friendship as opposed to merit. The acquisition only worsened this status quo. I left the company at a point where I considered it completely unsound in its approach. At this point everyone complained about the incompetence of the mid-management and the political noise was deafening. If you are an engineer and want to join this company, think twice! Here is my advice: if you are strong but submitted, if you are fine with an incompetent superior that does not give a rat about the science and good engineering, then this company could be for you. If you dream of changing, innovating, creating and see yourself as high potential then don't join. You will suffer.
