Pros

Good pay and Flexible work environment

Cons

PMs have no power. Major quality issues. QA reports to Operations, which is a conflict of interest. Upper management changes labor and material priorities without informing the PM; and then the PM takes the blame for missing milestones. Engineering takes a “we meet requirements because we say so” view of requirements verification. Has delivered used, engineering material to a production program and passed it off as new. I would stay far away from this company.

Pros

-Roster has some real experts. Maybe about 15-20 through the company, but there is a core group of people that really get it -With anything at Mercury no matter good news, bad news, or neutral, these people are genuinely awesome (the hands on workers) -9/80 Work schedule coming -Feels kind of like a family

Cons

-Senior leadership focuses too much on rapid growth and external concerns, cannot catch up with the business -Processes and core systems are extremely outdated -Sr. Directors & Managers are so scrutinized on numbers and goals they neglect the management responsibilities to grow their employees and their career -I am a SME in two areas and work heavily with big players. I work as a senior level but my job responsibilities have me at entry level
