What a company!

Pros

Leaders are personal yet professional and truly care about their employees. Throughout the pandemic, there has been an enormous amount of concern and safety check ins to employees both on site and working remotely. The center of their strategy and decision making is humanity. A true testament to a company worth giving your time to.

Cons

Mercury is growing so swiftly that it can be difficult to navigate processes that the business is outgrowing so quickly. We are a company that is built for the strong, the innovative and the passion for making a difference both internally and externally.

Pros

Hard-working, pro-active, caring and brilliant executive management. Cultures and values support collaboration, technology re-use, idea cross pollination all of which lead to industry-leading organic growth. Mercury encourages independent thinking which sometimes leads to conflict but in a healthy manner with high respect resulting in full idea evolution. My team mates and I all have place high expectations on ourselves and on each other and are willing to back each other up. It is refreshing to work with high-caliber, bright, hardworking and innovative colleagues. Best in class for managing the pandemic. Lastly, I am proud to be a member of the team that works to make the world a safer place

Cons

The tasks at times can be very challenging both from a schedule perspective and technical feasibility. Sometimes my work/life balance gets out of whack

Pros

Rapidly growing: It is fun and motivating to be around so much success and enthusiasm. Rewarding: This company truly rewards and compensates employees for results. Great people: Some of the smartest, friendliest people I have ever worked with. Everyone embraces the company culture, and it is not just a poster on the wall. Now (2020) is the perfect time to be at Mercury. The company is successful and rapidly growing but has still not "grown up" (see Cons below). There is still a lot of fun to be had building the basic infrastructure and processes that will take the company to the multi-billion level. This is a unique company in so many ways. It takes some time to realize/appreciate this.

Cons

Rapidly growing: there are growing pains: missing processes and systems. We often talk about changing the engines on the jet as it is flying. This can be disconcerting to some who have come to rely on the mature processes of similarly-sized companies, but a thrill to those of us who like the challenge. Timing: (Not really a con for the company - more for me) I wish I had joined the company and caught the wave sooner!
