Pros

The company offers good salary, benefits and STOCK OPTIONS. This allows you to make more money and be more interested in helping the company grow. Management is fair and they pay attention to your concerns and try their best to come up with a solution. They don't micromanage everyday but they let your work results speak for themselves. All the employees are friendly and helpful.

Cons

Some of the processes could be improved to be more efficient in getting things done in time

Pros

The management team has stressed an open door policy and I believe that is a true statement. The company appears to be moving quickly and aggressively to continue to grow, to meet Wall Street expectations but more importantly to continue to foster employee interest and motivation to grow as well. Our recent acquisition by Mercury brought a certain amount of apprehension to many people. However, corporate has been working very hard to make the transition as painless as possible and have made it a point to communicate our path forward. Management's drive is to make Mercury a superior place to work by making their employees excited about what they do. We are changing together to make Mercury a wonderful place to work. Employees across all sites have been outstanding to work with each day. I am very impressed and motivated to drive us past any competition in the market. Its an exciting place to work. Highly recommend it to all who want to learn quickly and be involved with other motivated people.

Cons

More emphasis should be made on continual education for all. This could be done either through further formal education or employees teaching employees. This fosters growth. Management is open to this. We should make it happen!

Thoughtful reviews like yours are what help us make progress on our intended path forward. We appreciate the positive feedback but also the opportunity to learn from you what we need to make sure our employees know about everything we offer. Lifelong learning is one of our core values. We offer unlimited training opportunities to employees through Lynda.com and last year implemented a comprehensive management development curriculum called Mercury Managers Matter (M3), for managers or employees with management potential. We are also working on a similar development program from individual contributors and a “systems engineering” program which will ensure we are onboarding well-rounded employees and that knowledge transfer between longtime experts and junior talent is happening companywide. Be sure to check out our Learning and Development section on the One Mercury site for more information on these and other opportunities to further your growth!

Pros

Mercury Systems is a fast growing company with excellent top end management driving the company"s growth. Benefits and perks are great. They encourage people to be involved and make suggestions for continuous improvements. There is very good support and interaction between the various locations. Security is very important to all.

Cons

With the rapid growth and acquisitiions there are some growing pains learning new processes and procedures. The controls and overall visibility into each organization is an adjustment for day to day activity.
