Pros
Strong business with great leadership at the top. The company has grown considerably over the past few years.
Cons
When you get below the highest levels of the company, there is a severe leadership vacuum - many immature and self-centered managers. The company is in trouble if it's relying on these people for their next generation leaders.

Thank you for your Glassdoor post and recommendation. The need for a strong management capability is recognized by Mercury leadership as a priority to successfully grow. In fact, our M3 management development program has just been redesigned and the first cohort of 20 managers has started their 12-week training and development. Mercury Culture & Values are an emphasis as are business acumen and coaching skill-building.
Additionally, a new supervisor training curriculum is getting built to begin next month at locations across Mercury. It is designed to start building management skills quickly and effectively at our sites. It will address setting goals, giving performance feedback and role modeling the Mercury Culture & Values. We hope this has helped with some of your concerns and we always encourage you to share these with your manager or HR Business Partner as detailed feedback helps us improve. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
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!
