Pros

I have been fortunate to work for some very good companies in the past in multiple industries. However, I have not ever worked for a company that is as energetic as Mercury Systems. What makes it so energetic is that there is so much optimism about growth here starting from the top and permeating throughout the entire organization. A standing item in each discussion with senior leaders is not about how we are rewarding our employees today (from both a compensation and benefits perspective) but how are we going to reward them when we have doubled in size and even tripled. It is a lot of fun working in this type of environment where successful growth is so ingrained in the culture of the Company.

Cons

Working for a company in a high growth mode can be demanding at times, however, support from leadership, a high emphasis on personal development and the importance placed on culture and values truly does make Mercury Systems a Great Place to Work.

Pros

"Succeeding, Great Company with growing pains.

Cons

Shifts other than 1st are excluded and not considered in All Hands meetings, company functions, activities. When these issues were brought to the attention of the Engagement Team it was met with no resolve and backlash, Recently they were not considered for the Christmas Pot Luck and literally addressed as cry babies. Now there is a Chef who's food is only available in the mornings just like the food trucks that are only available in the mornings. We were told 3 days before a the last off campus company function that if we wanted to attend we would have to come in early to make up the hours or use our vacation time. The exclusion of the other shifts seems to happen on most all occasions and has become expected.

Pros

You will be "wow'ed" by the shiny new building. The executive management team seems to really believe in the culture and values statements that are posted all over the building.

Cons

Unfortunately, the executive team doesn't see what really goes on in the company, and loses sight of the higher level managers and directors that don't follow the culture & values, and that make life really miserable for employees. With so many "quiet" layoffs people are scared they'll be next if they say anything about being mistreated.
