Pros

Mercury is a fast-growing company and a great place to work. I've met some of the most talented people at Mercury and it is really inspiring to see the creativity, commitment and resiliency of the employees. In addition to the company being rooted in teamwork, communication and execution, its unique to see how everyone helps and cares for one another . This starts with the senior leaders that engages individuals and deliver on the promise that the company has everyone's back. During times of uncertainty like these, the company has been leading from the front and has found a way to figure it out, in real time, and under stress. When you see how the company responds day in and day out, it truly reveals its values as a company. The cultures and values at Mercury are more than wall decor.

Cons

The pros significantly minimize any cons as you quickly come to understand the company's purpose and the OneMercury culture.

Pros

Our CEO shines in times of crisis. Around 8 years ago when Mercury ran into some serious challenges, he came in and righted the ship. Through tough decision making, know-how, discipline, and sheer force of will, he turned the company around by being a true leader. Once again in the midst of this pandemic, he has stepped up and with great compassion and creativity, and is leading Mercury and its people through the storm. I can't say enough about how impressed I am at Mercury's response to this critically difficult situation.

Cons

I hope that once this crisis has passed, that we can use our lessons learned and creative solutions to continue working and being effective in new ways, using technology and communication as well as understanding how connected and dependent we all are on each other.

Pros

I have been extremely impressed by the openness and concern but all levels of management during the COVID-19 crisis. The executive leadership has made communication a top priority and moved quickly to keep employee safe and the business moving forward in a positive direction. As an employee I felt that management was concerned about my safety and the safety of my family and communicated the why and how things were going to be done. While this time has had a lot of unanswered questions Mercury’s leadership has done all they can to make sure we had clear and thought out direction very step along the way. I have also been very impressed by the ability to virtually overnight move to the majority of the company to a work from home model with very few bumps in the road. This speaks volume to the commitment of leadership to make the necessary investment and the skills of all levels of the IT team to make this happen. By making this happen it put employee safety first. Giving us the infrastructure needed to work from the safety of our homes.

Cons

Exciting and important work but heavy workload
