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.

Pros

Great time off, schedule flexibility like 9/80, company shut down at end of year, caring coworkers, lots of resources, benefit add ons are great like pet insurance! They have a student loan company match program and tuition reimbursement. They seem to promote from within a lot too which is refreshing.

Cons

Spread out amongst lots of states East coast and West coast. Sometimes can make collaborating hard but the make it work well!
