Pros

Mercury is THE place to be. The company is forward moving both in it's development of products and it's people. Most companies pump out a culture/values statement, but it's rare to see it ever take meaningful form. At Mercury the executive team means what they say, and they walk the talk. I feel welcome and valued at this company. When our executive team briefs us on the status of the company, they are actually telling the truth and giving useful information instead of the dog & pony show you see elsewhere. I'm so glad a came to work here.

Cons

The HR department is very harsh. To new candidates, I'd say, ignore the unprofessionalism, and just get past that part. The rest of the company is staffed with awesome people that you'll love working with!

I really appreciate your feedback and I’m glad you are happy working at Mercury. We continue to strive to make Mercury a great place to work. It’s good to know that even as we’ve grown, our efforts to walk the talk are being noticed and our core values are resonating with employees, both new and existing. Our rapid organic and acquisition related growth has caused us to evolve. Specifically, over the last 12 months Human Resources at Mercury has undergone a complete transformation - as a team and as a function. We have worked to bring on board exceptional HR talent, many of whom are new, to guide the business through this transition and to implement the necessary enterprise tools and processes that will enable us to scale and that will grow with us. All of this is occurring while the HR team is still getting to know one another and working to define responsibilities and expectations. Given all they are trying to accomplish, some turbulence is to be expected, but this is no excuse for the poor treatment you’ve referenced. Emma Woodthorpe and I have been and will continue to work with the HR team to ensure that appropriate human interactions remain a priority and in line with our values. Thank you again for taking the time to leave your feedback here on Glassdoor. I sincerely appreciate your candor and wish you continued success at Mercury. -Mark Aslett, President and CEO
