Coworkers are kind and willing to help/provide guidance where it is needed. Seriously, makes the job and work so much easier! This doesn't apply to a specific function, it is all of them! Everyone at Mercury is truly wonderful. Although management is trying to transition employees back into the office, they still understand their employees predicaments. They are cautious about not moving too fast and accommodating to different situations. I trust management to make the right choices for the benefit of their employees. Whatever you read in the news headlines, don't let that be the sole factor you don't choose Mercury. There are great opportunities and it is a niche high-tech, A&D company. They are a select few out of all the other A&D companies out there that provide specific technology. There will always be work and a job ready.
Cons
There is a lot of work across all functions with minimal help. I don't believe managers want to or will bombard new comers, but this is a place where you cannot lollygag.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Initially, the best thing about Mercury was they let our day to day operations remain very similar to how they functioned prior to the acquisition. That's about it.
Cons
They treated everyone like they didn't matter. They lied to our entire company about the changes in the pipeline, they hid information from our management group and worst of all, they lied to our entire company about people being able maintain their positions. They went as far as to lay people off, including myself, in the middle of the week without any warning nor informing our bosses and then asked us not to tell them. Once we were out, we became a zero priority in regards to getting our final pay checks, maintaining communication about the next steps of our new unemployment and informing the company managing my retirement fund that I was no longer there. Their priority isn't their employees, it's their share holders.

Pros
The HR recruiter is so good. She followed up with you every single step by step process and will respond to your text. I have never had anyone do this side text with you personally and provide the information to you as needed. Answer your questions and help you with all the paperwork. She goes above and beyond her duty and provides such a smooth onboarding process. Very motivated, friendly, and active HR recruiter. Best that you can find. The manager sends such a warm and welcome letter with good details of instruction for the first day.
Cons
Nothing I can think of.

Pros
I wanted to write this review to say I was having some issues during the computer part of the application process and Katelyn Rizzo was such a joy to deal with. She was very helpful through out the whole process. Helped me every step of the way. Couldn’t have done it without her. Thanks Katelyn !!! You’re the best.
Cons
I do not have any cons.
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Good benefits. Friendly coworkers. Good work environment. Work from home flexibility
Cons
They have not embraced work from home fully. There are a lack of project managers in our department. Takes a long time for large projects to be completed sometimes get poorly managed and some teams do not take ownership of issues. They sometimes take too long to do their part.
