A company filled with contradictions

Pros

Incredibly interesting technology to work on. There's more variety here than most places for the technically-inclined... Circuit design, software, hardware/mechanical, systems, etc. They do it all.

Cons

From an execution point of view, Mercury Systems leverages old, antiquated engineering practices and is extremely poor at planning, resource management, maintaining a long term technical vision and executing on it. They do great things but could be so much better at it. The company is positively horrible at resource management, having adequate resources to maintain continuity on a program, focus, allowing time to sufficiently and accurately plan, etc. Some of these problems are due to the nature of the work but it could be much better. Change at Mercury is glacial.

Pros

There are many Pros. For me the biggest include – Sophisticated, friendly culture that is actively maintained – Challenging (in a good way) suite of customer solutions that really do matter – And a management team with clear vision, purpose and executable strategy.

Cons

The few cons are so minor, they are hardly worth mentioning – So I won’t:)
