Mercury Systems Reviews

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...

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.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you are doing and keep this place personal. A good example of this is our CEO's presentation to new hires when he explains his start as a welder at a shipyard in England. He has grown a lot since then and employees can do the same at Mercury Systems.

Pros

There's a good amount of flexibility here, in some groups you can figure out a schedule that works for you and not get any flak about it. Most of your peers are supportive and genuine.

Cons

Despite what you'll be told int he interview process, this is far from a perfect company. It's not perfect by any means, but it's also not as bad as some of the reviewers make it out to be (at least in my group; I can't speak for other parts of the company). While most of the people were great, the group I was in was chaotic. Mercury Systems is focused on aggressive growth but they're just not properly staffed. Some...

Pros

Great work-life balance. Encouraging, challenging and uplifting environment.

Cons

None that I can think of.

Pros

Great employees who care for one another. This doesn’t include the majority of senior leadership if it was up to them the company would have already sunk like the titanic. Meaningful work Leading edge technology

Cons

Leadership all the way up to the executive team talk a good game about how important Cultures and Values are but behind the curtain they are not walking the walk. They are growing fast but there are bodies left in their wake; just look at turnover. Don’t expect to be developed because no one has time they are too busy trying to meet unrealistic revenue targets. Don’t seek help from HR they don’t care and that comes...

Advice to Management

Slow down. Stop growing so fast you are harming your employees. Executives, if you really believe in the cultures and values talk to people in the trenches. Unfortunately, I think most will be too afraid to tell you the truth. The lack of culture and values isn’t poor management, it is setting unrealistic expectations and deadlines forcing managers to push their people too hard. Put “Human” back into Human Resources
