Pros

Mercury does a lot of exciting work. Fundamentals of the business are very strong.

Cons

Silos. The further you are away from Andover, the less your contribution to the company is recognized. Network stability is a problem, making it difficult to get your job done. Mercury demands your life (forget any sense of work-life balance) and in exchange you get an insulting raise. Too many people telling other people what to do; not enough people getting the work done. Working at Mercury is like being at a small company that never figured out how to grow up. Chaos and dysfunction are far too common. A lot of rude managers (including people with director and above titles) that don't know how to treat people with basic human dignity.

We appreciate your feedback on Glassdoor. As always, if you have specific comments to your own role at Mercury it’s always best to go directly to your manager and/or to the HR Business Partner at your specific site. With that said, a couple of comments. We have worked hard to ensure we have a consistent Culture & Values, regardless of job role or location. We have seen in our most recent Culture & Values survey that most of our Mercury team have a strong sense of community and teamwork and understand how their specific job contributes to the overall strategy of the company. It’s very important however to recognize that we can always do better and that it is essential that all employees feel free to talk openly on public forums like Glassdoor as well as directly with your manager.

Thank you for taking the time to offer your perspective. We’d like to encourage you to reach out to your HRBP to express your concerns. We’d also like to invite you to contact one or both of us directly (Usha.Shah@mrcy.com or Iain.Mackie@mrcy.com) so that we can better understand and address your concerns. We take all feedback seriously and are always striving to improve. Getting more clarity into your experience, especially given your two decades of employment with us, would help us achieve that.
