Pros

I feel Mercury is on a strong growth trajectory. It's a company you can be proud of. There's great work and a lot of great people. People come together when needed and do what needs to be done, but sometimes at the expense of other employees. The technology and products are incredible.

Cons

Compensation is competitive if you are working a 8-5 job. But most Mercury employees work crazy hours, not by their choice. HR claims compensation is competitive. And I agree - it's competitive if you work 8-5 and aren't made to put aside your life. If you demand employees give up their lives, is the same level of compensation appropriate? Is that really a fair comparison? Compensation should be in line with performance and behavior. It's not today. Mercury needs to be more process-driven and systematic in all aspects.

We appreciate your feedback. Mercury surely is on a strong growth path. A path that benefits our customers, investors and employees. In our Culture & Value statement we lead with “We deliver results. We are innovators.” But we quickly follow that with “We help and care for one another.” We take that element of our core culture statement very seriously. Our most recent internal survey attempts to measure, among other things, our ability within Mercury to support one another and work in a positive team oriented way. For the most part the results of that survey, while leaving room for improvement, very much indicate our Mercury colleagues feel we go out of our way to support one another. With all that said, we appreciate and respect your input that indicates some opportunities to do better. The best advice in situations like this is to have a direct and frank conversation with your direct manager and, if needed, with one of our excellent HR professionals. Thank you for your input.
