Pros

Our CEO shines in times of crisis. Around 8 years ago when Mercury ran into some serious challenges, he came in and righted the ship. Through tough decision making, know-how, discipline, and sheer force of will, he turned the company around by being a true leader. Once again in the midst of this pandemic, he has stepped up and with great compassion and creativity, and is leading Mercury and its people through the storm. I can't say enough about how impressed I am at Mercury's response to this critically difficult situation.

Cons

I hope that once this crisis has passed, that we can use our lessons learned and creative solutions to continue working and being effective in new ways, using technology and communication as well as understanding how connected and dependent we all are on each other.

Pros

I have been extremely impressed by the openness and concern but all levels of management during the COVID-19 crisis. The executive leadership has made communication a top priority and moved quickly to keep employee safe and the business moving forward in a positive direction. As an employee I felt that management was concerned about my safety and the safety of my family and communicated the why and how things were going to be done. While this time has had a lot of unanswered questions Mercury’s leadership has done all they can to make sure we had clear and thought out direction very step along the way. I have also been very impressed by the ability to virtually overnight move to the majority of the company to a work from home model with very few bumps in the road. This speaks volume to the commitment of leadership to make the necessary investment and the skills of all levels of the IT team to make this happen. By making this happen it put employee safety first. Giving us the infrastructure needed to work from the safety of our homes.

Cons

Exciting and important work but heavy workload

Pros

Mercury is more like a large extended family then a job. They have always provided plenty of growth opportunities through training, coaching, mentoring and projects to help employees reach their career goals. The leadership team is very approachable and listens to employees for feedback on continuous improvement. They also do a great job transparently communicating to the organization. I have worked at Mercury for over 20 years. Great place to work!!!

Cons

I really don't have any cons to list
