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 our employees today (from both a compensation and benefits perspective) but how are we going to reward them when we have doubled in size and even tripled. It is a lot of fun working in this type of environment where successful growth is so ingrained in the culture of the Company.
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.
