      Pros

      Over a year straight of solid growth; great outlook for the next couple of years with growing backlog of orders; return to focus on the employ after suffering through government sequestration; good bonuses and raises are back

      Cons

      Defense industry which had a couple of down years and hurt Mercury

      Pros

      Acceptable to work in for you like hardware components and working with prime contractors in defense. Develops cutting edge technology and really smart engineers.

      Cons

      An old guys company, feels like a time warp back to the early 80s. Can't imagine any young person wanting to work there. 1. Work Environment is nothing like those offered by companies located in Boston. I bet they still don't provide free coffee never mind any other perks. ! 2. Unsatisfying that Product(s) are components to larger systems.. Deliverable product is never branded "Mercury" so their is a lack of brand recognition. 3. Management is full of expatriates (British and French) or guys that have been with the company forever. Success is measured by their growing waistlines. Lack of woman in leadership roles. 4. Extreme dependency on Defense budget. If we ever smarten up as nation and reduce Defense spending this company is history. 5. Located off I-495, the snow belt of Massachusetts. Another 80s throwback reference. Who wants to work in that area unless you live in NH?

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great technology and products. Industry leader. Has made some smart acquisitions in the last few years to position the company for more related business.

      Cons

      Overly concerned with short term profits as opposed long term plan. Sales cycle is long and slow. Defense industry is changing and lots of downward cost pressures. This will continue to pressure on margin and Mercury's competitive position.
