"Do as I say, not as I do" - Anonymous employee Mercury Systems Employee Review

Thanks for this feedback. We understand the gratification that comes from having a direct impact on our armed forces - it inspires us too! We think our work to support the warfighter is part of what makes us a great place to work. It's not about the image, although we do want people to know what a great organization we are so that we can attract and retain more top talent like you. Some of the things that we do to ensure our employer brand is more than just a brand include having engagement teams at every site that work to bring our employee populations together for some fun activities while also making an impact in their local communities. We conduct surveys throughout the year to keep our finger on the pulse of the organization and culture; and calibrate as needed according to what we learn from them. Glassdoor is also a great resource for us - reviews like this one help us to learn what's working, what needs work and ultimately, to become a better company. We encourage you to speak to your manager or seek out your HR business partner, to have a candid conversation with them about what you're experiencing. "Spirit crushing" is not a term we are happy to see associated with the environment at Mercury and we want to do what we can to correct issues and ensure we have happy, fulfilled employees.
