Stressful place to work

Pros

The only best thing about company is fun Friday that you can go home 2 hours early in summer time.

Cons

If you are type of person always follow your boss, say yes to he/she, you don’t have to work hard and easy to get away on everything. No communication, very stressful and unhealthy place to work.

Pros

THE PEOPLE! While I've only been with Mercury Systems for a short time, the people are amazing! Mercury truly cares for its employees! They want employees to grow and develop and provide pathways to success.

Cons

As the company continues to grow, new (and better) systems/processes need to be implemented. Currently, there is a lot of manual work that could be automated to make processes more seamless and less room for error.

Pros

The HR strives to create a pleasant environment ... This is artificial and has an impersonal outcome. For newcomers this seems enough though. Great engineers were still around at the time of my departure. These engineers are the ones who kept this entity breathing during the years. Nothing else!

Cons

During 7 years, previous to acquisition by Mercury, I have seen politics, positions rewarded on loyalty and friendship as opposed to merit. The acquisition only worsened this status quo. I left the company at a point where I considered it completely unsound in its approach. At this point everyone complained about the incompetence of the mid-management and the political noise was deafening. If you are an engineer and want to join this company, think twice! Here is my advice: if you are strong but submitted, if you are fine with an incompetent superior that does not give a rat about the science and good engineering, then this company could be for you. If you dream of changing, innovating, creating and see yourself as high potential then don't join. You will suffer.
