Thanks for providing feedback on Glassdoor. Given the nature of Mercury’s business, we have an extreme focus on security. Also, given our M&A activity, we tend to standardize across sites quickly. It may be the combination of these two factors that is contributing to your view of us being “stringent”. If there is something more or if you feel we could be providing a better IT experience, I’d be happy to discuss any feedback you have. Please feel free to reach out to me. Regards, Jamie Ryan CIO

Pros

Aggressive growth strategy is working. Strong executive team with a clear and communicated vision that is coming into fruition rapidly. In general takes care of employees especially those deemed exceptional and there are many. Engineering talent is vast and there is constant opportunity to learn or grow through technical challenges.

Cons

Resources always an issue when being faced with so much "opportunity". Significant workload for all but there is a disproportionate balance between those that are aggressive or excited about career advancement and those just coming to "work".
