Pros

You will be "wow'ed" by the shiny new building. The executive management team seems to really believe in the culture and values statements that are posted all over the building.

Cons

Unfortunately, the executive team doesn't see what really goes on in the company, and loses sight of the higher level managers and directors that don't follow the culture & values, and that make life really miserable for employees. With so many "quiet" layoffs people are scared they'll be next if they say anything about being mistreated.

Pros

I had the privilege of being the CIO at Mercury for the past six years. Mercury is an exceptional company, with great leadership, employees, technology and a culture second to none. There is a winning, “can do” attitude at Mercury that is stronger than any company I have seen. That said, it is also the most collaborative and positive work environment I have seen. There is a strong focus employee development, lifelong learning, valuing people’s ideas and recognizing contribution at every level. If you are looking for a new role, in a great company, where you will be encouraged to take on new and exciting challenges every day – look into joining Mercury Systems, you will be very happy you did.

Cons

I can't think of any, I had the best six years of my work life at Mercury

Pros

Mercury is an incredibly inviting and collaborative work environment. You will meet some of the most friendly people here. I did an internship here and they were all more than happy to lend a helping hand when I needed it. The collaborative work space makes for an incredibly effective work day. Not only will you be able to get a lot done, you will enjoy the process. I was able to take on roles in fields that both me as well as my manager were interested in and deemed suitable for my position. The customization of my job, while at the same time making a difference was terrific, and that is not something every intern can say. If I can take one thing away from my experience with Mercury, I can say that I the people and culture allowed me to learn more than I ever thought imaginable in an internship.

Cons

The only con I can think of is since I was an intern and Mercury being in the defense industry, I was certainly younger than a lot of my co workers. This did not bother me that much, but it may be worth saying. That being said there were other interns my age.
