      Pros

      Great people to work with, supportive environment. Good variety of technically challenging problems to work on, often using cutting edge technology.

      Cons

      Currently in a down period due to delays and cutbacks in government spending. Remains to be seen if they will make the right changes to weather the storm and return to growth. Organization of engineering departments is outmoded and must be refocused for success in winning new business.

      Pros

      It's a job. Even with a possibility of using debt, it pushes to use cash resources

      Cons

      With the recent acquisitions and corresponding layoffs, Mercury has sunk from a positive company where the $'s came in easily, to breaking policy to chase $'s. The management direction is haphazard - nothing clear since the acquisitions and layoffs. The attitude is depressing at HQ. They are blaming it on the continuing resolution
