Pros

I joined Mercury 3 years ago. This company has a strong culture built on Trust and driven by the leaders. The people and the culture along with our innovative products make Mercury one of the best places to work. You have the ability to grow and develop your career at Mercury.

Cons

I wouldn't consider this a Con but I realize others do: this company is incredible fast paced and the expectations are high so if that isn't the environment you like than it could be a challenging place to work. Scaling also presents some challenges although nothing that can't be worked out.
