Pros

At the beginning, good opportunity to learn new technology. Casual dress code Fun co-workers 9 to 5 work schedule without a lunch. They have someone to pickup lunch for you and its not like you can't leave for lunch, its just frowned upon

Cons

You just read the Pros right? Benefits are horrible, some would say that is typical for small companies but this company's revenue exceeds its size I can't provide a honest review for other departments within this company and if you would enjoy working here, but the IT department had a 40% reduction in staffing, almost all left the company and not one position has been filled yet. So the reviews that say the hiring process is quick is a joke. So I would say that good indication of the current situation. This has increased the work load on an already thin staff which has created a poisonous work environment that continues to grown and spread which has made additional employees start to look else where. Don't know if they can stop the bleeding as most are getting disgruntle and are very unhappy. The executive team or the COO assured the team that they are using more resources to find quality candidates to fill these position. However, the COO never addressed this large concern with the team, we where just told. Remember we are small "family" company. Right? The lack of origination, standards, management guidance, support, horrible work environment... It might sound like I'm venting and sure I am. I have worked for a few badly managed companies and they were BAD. When I started it was good, but with bad management that continues to make wrong decisions it starts to pill up. I truly hope they can turn the culture around and make it a better place to work but the negative energy here is thick.

First, we would like to apologize for our tardy reply and thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. We are committed to creating a comfortable, transparent and collaborative environment for our employees so we’re disappointed to hear about some of your experiences. We’re sorry you received the impression that taking a lunch is frowned upon. Everyone is urged to take at least 30 minutes for lunch. The lunch runs provided by our Facilities team allows you the option to stay in the office if you’d like. Regarding our benefits, we do contribute 90% toward the premiums for our employees and their dependents. According to recent benchmark results, offering 90% toward dependent care is not the norm. And we acknowledge there is always room for improvement with benefits. In recent months, we added several employees to our Infrastructure team who quickly started contributing. We also hired a Document Management expert who is working diligently on our processes and procedures. We are always working on filling open positions, but finding top talent can take time. As for the management team, we recognize there are some pain points and that cross communication needs improvement. We value and consider all feedback and we’ll continue to find ways to improve.

Pros

MTG has a great work environment... the location, my co-workers and the challenge of my job make for fast days and not dreading going to work each day. Management values my opinions and contributions, and they don't hesitate to tell me. I've been at too many jobs that only focus on what an employee is doing wrong, which is depressing and makes you want to look for something new. Mercury breeds loyalty by putting their employees at the top of the food chain and has no qualms about showing their appreciation of a job well done. Speaking of food... we have a full kitchen, complete with an oven, microwave and refrigerators so making some good leftovers for lunch is easy and fast. Plus, they have a dedicated kitchen and office assistant that brings in fresh fruit everyday and makes lunch runs for the entire office. Overall, my experience at Mercury has been an enjoyable one. It's always great to be able to come up with new technology and have fun while you're at it.

Cons

I really haven't come across anything that annoys me here. Mercury has been on their game with proactively conquering any issues before they become REAL issues, so it's been smooth sailing since I started.
