Pros

Mercury Systems continues to evolve and become a more relevant player within the defense industry. The company has a very strong portfolio of leading edge solutions that are very much in demand by both the large defense primes and at times direct to the DoD. The Mercury team appears to be morphing into one cohesive unit- with engineering, operations, manufacturing, finance, sales, HR, and marketing all working together towards a common goal of driving for customer success. Company morale, while never perfect, is gaining ground as the overall tempo of innovation along with good growth and job prospects seems to be having a positive impact on the Mercury team.

Cons

All companies have challenges. For Mercury Systems, the on-going challenge is to continue to deliver on customer commitments with good but not unlimited resources. This at times puts some stress on employees and it is something that needs to be monitored.

Pros

At Mercury, there is opportunity to design with the latest and greatest technology. Designs of modules and systems bring exciting challenges that require high density solutions and innovation. The people are intelligent and hard working. Team members are willing to help each other. There is always work to do and employees are always busy, sometimes too busy. Overall, Mercury is a good place to work.

Cons

At Mercury, often there is overload of work under aggressive schedules. There are often many #1 priorities that make juggling complicated for engineers and managers which then results in lower efficiency. New developments may get pushed to the next phases when there are still unknowns. Acceleration can require repeating steps or trying to catch-up on early phases at the end, often prolonging total life cycle. Overall, Mercury is a good place to work.
