Pros

Initially some great responses to the outbreak and the care they provided.

Cons

Added care and benefits to on-site employees stopped while at home employees are still pampered and cozy. Once mandatory quarantine in states stopped or lessened, so did the programs and initiative to make on site employees feel better. Also, the biannual merit increase seems nice until upper management & HR lies to managers about how much their reports will get and gives everyone way less than agreed. Questionable on where the money goes as yet another company puts less attention to the builders that make the product in the first place...

One Mercury is part of our success

Pros

The company is innovative when looking for solutions to people, product and processes. There are many software and systems in place to support the business in our customers. Our facilities have been upgraded to provide world class manufacturing. Great thing is that during COVID, the company was prepared with all the technology to be effective while working from home, or onsite with minimal disruption in manufacturing.

Cons

The company is very demanding regarding work load. This is part of the strategic growth in which we have many initiatives working in parallel. There needs to be less meetings and more action when it comes to managers. Part of this is requires better alignment across all of Mercury Systems. Also, there needs to be more training across the board regarding data and ensuring people make decisions based on Facts rather than emotion (any negative information turns into wildfire internally and exhausts our resources). Power BI has been incorporated recently so I am positive this will help.

Pros

- Friendly co-workers - Excellent response from CEO during covid ( no lay-offs, pay cuts) - Lots of outside of work resources for employees (benefit wise) during covid

Cons

- Bad management/leadership - There is no well defined process to do anything. You really learn EVERYTHING at this company by making mistakes/ Everything is a mess - Very stressful working environment. Leadership will keep pushing you to do this and that but provide you a little to no resource. Very low work/life balance.
