Pros

Mercury does a lot of exciting work. Fundamentals of the business are very strong.

Cons

Silos. The further you are away from Andover, the less your contribution to the company is recognized. Network stability is a problem, making it difficult to get your job done. Mercury demands your life (forget any sense of work-life balance) and in exchange you get an insulting raise. Too many people telling other people what to do; not enough people getting the work done. Working at Mercury is like being at a small company that never figured out how to grow up. Chaos and dysfunction are far too common. A lot of rude managers (including people with director and above titles) that don't know how to treat people with basic human dignity.

We appreciate your feedback on Glassdoor. As always, if you have specific comments to your own role at Mercury it’s always best to go directly to your manager and/or to the HR Business Partner at your specific site. With that said, a couple of comments. We have worked hard to ensure we have a consistent Culture & Values, regardless of job role or location. We have seen in our most recent Culture & Values survey that most of our Mercury team have a strong sense of community and teamwork and understand how their specific job contributes to the overall strategy of the company. It’s very important however to recognize that we can always do better and that it is essential that all employees feel free to talk openly on public forums like Glassdoor as well as directly with your manager.

Pros

Great time off, schedule flexibility like 9/80, company shut down at end of year, caring coworkers, lots of resources, benefit add ons are great like pet insurance! They have a student loan company match program and tuition reimbursement. They seem to promote from within a lot too which is refreshing.

Cons

Spread out amongst lots of states East coast and West coast. Sometimes can make collaborating hard but the make it work well!
