Pros

Intelligent people, interesting projects, shared culture and values are actually lived, creating the setting for a productive, forward looking and dynamic work environment. All in all a very nice and stimulating place to work.

Cons

Inefficiencies in procedures, complicated organizational structure, certain dependency of HQ which slows down things locally; nothing that impacts Mercury as a place of work

Pros

I came over to Mercury this week and cannot say or feel anything other than that I made the right decision. The welcome made me feel as if I was wanted and the team acted very happy to have me join them. It is a pretty relaxed atmosphere in general and the overall vibe I get is that people are content working here. They have a big emphasis on company morale and employees seem excited to be here. Examples: - Handwritten 1st Day Welcome note waiting for me at my desk - My cube name tag was already waiting for me displayed in my cube - Overnight shipping from MA with my badge so I could feel part of the team immediately with my official badge - Welcome to Mercury Fruit Basket sent to my house - wife was very impressed - Awesome Coffee machines in break room - endless free coffee - Selection of snacks and stuff to grab if you are hungry - New, ergonomic chair waiting for me - Welcome email to the team saying, "If you see this guy [My Picture] make him feel welcome, he is new and here to help us out." - Daily facilities cleaning crew, the place is spotless Neither at Boeing nor Raytheon was the onboarding process so welcoming with so many little details. I am very impressed. Aside from the pampering, they are working with very cool technology and doing very interesting things with the newest state-of-the-art available chips. I can tell I am going to be happy here.

Cons

None so far. Only good things to say.
