Mercury Systems

Great company to work for!  Work is clear and instructions readily available as well as experienced workers ready to help and provide advice. Management is caring and always available. Culture is people centric and everyone cares greatly about their work and their coworkers. The hardest part about working here is once you have been trained and start working independently, there is a great deal of pressure to perform at a high level every day in everything you do. This is not a con to me but can be to some. The most enjoyable part about working at Mercury Systems is the benefits, schedule and availability of work related materials/tools. The COVID response was awarded by Glass Door as the best in the industry and for good reason. The CEO set up a relief fun for all employees to access easily. Weekly updates on COVID. Weekly screenings. 6 weeks PTO for COVID related issues. Free PPE. Shut downs when COVID 19 was detected followed by sanitization of facilities before reopening all while employees were still paid regularly wages. A starting financial relief paid to all employees in March 2020. Sites were even updated to make all doorways hand free. The CEO even addresses employees monthly and allows us to voice concerns. New shifts were made available and much more. Needless to say, this company really does care about its employees. You will not be treated like a number here.

By far, the most stressful and deceitful place I've ever worked.  The company relentlessly shoves it's culture and values statements in your face constantly (EVERY DAY!) but they don't live up to the statements.  It's all smoke and mirrors to make things look shiny on the outside so you don't notice the ugly underbelly until it's too late to go back to your prior employer and ask to get your job back.  I think the company wants a culture it doesn't have and instead of building it the right way (honestly, integrity, and treating people right)  they try to unnaturally force feed it to employees, hoping something will come out of it, but they do nothing to make sure managers and directors live the culture.  I'm sorry I ever worked here.

Pay depends on department, top heavy company with rush culture no quality involved. Grinds up and spits out employees, no talent retention, saving money is the bottom line. Will give you bare minimum raises while already being underpaid then shoves “benefits” in your face to distract. 

Corporate decides pay not managers, egregious bonuses for higher ups involved in production causing even worse rush culture.

After talent is ground down and leaves, the remaining workforce doesn’t care about doing anything right because they’re not paid enough.

Would not recommend any job involving manufacturing. Go for sales if you wanna get treated like a golden boy. 

They do give great balance with work/life and offer a nice vacation/sick day package. If that’s worth it. 

Shoot for highest range when applying, hard to get more out of them. Seem to let anyone in at high range but refuse to give raises.

Worked for Themis for eight years before Mercury bought us due to our efficiency and ability to bring products to market. Mercury promises started fading away after one year and management from far away was the rule. Input from employees at our site had no value and voices were never heard or consulted. Several key directors either quit, got fired or decided to retire due to bureaucracy and lack of any avenue to vent or access people in power. HR was no help and powerless. No one from the top is monitoring the behavior of poor manager and the number of complaints that HR is receiving. A sad and frustrating to work. Themis was a great company that got damaged in the name of "we need to scale up"

What is the best part of working at the company?
EVP of HR at the company cares about the employee. Nice flexibility at company. work life balance. Great people to work with. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Horrid working conditions. Company losing staff, and can't bring in people fast enough. Delivery schedules are all off track and project managers are chastised. Highly discourage senior project managers from working here, especially if you don't want to just spin your wheels. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Little to no resources to execute schedule, material always late, and aggressive management style is a recipe for a toxic environment.

When I interviewed I was promised good work/life balance, an opportunity to learn and advance and chance to work with a good group.

The biggest red flag should have been the recruiter crossing his arms and saying "we don't negotiate." I should have walked away but wanted to give the company a chance.

Most of the people were decent, but there was no work/life balance. I was working pretty much every weekend the last few months I was there. There was little respect from immediate management and none from anyone 3+ levels above me. I wound up leaving and never looking back.

Mercury purchased Delta Microwave from which I was an employee. Unfortunately, my position as a Contracts Manager was not going to be kept on the West Coast so I left the company. In my short time there, it was a great experience working with the corporate office. Management was polite, professional and respectful. They had clear definitions for your roles and allowed you to work freely with little micro-management. If the circumstances were different and a position was available in my swim lane I would have been happy to stay on the team.

The workers are friendly and the work environment is nice. 
The management is an old-boys club, especially Operations. Material is always late; that, combined with labor being pulled off of jobs without notice, causes deliveries to be constantly late. Once deliveries are made , customers complain about our quality. This ultimately creates a demoralizing feeling. 
Unless you are a young, impressionable worker, I would avoid this place. 

Support from local management is great.  Coworkers recognize my capability and frequently ask for assistance.  Corporate management doesn't appreciate engineering skills.  Local management is supportive

Good people to work with for the most part, team work and cross department  communication is good.

Short sightedness caused delays in inventory for production and delayed getting the customer the product they asked for at the time they wanted it.

Hiring department heads that know nothing about the workplace and how the processes work to get the job done, and don't try and learn the work processes .

Keeping employees on when it has been know by management for years that the productivity was not up to minimum standards. Over producers and multi dimensional employees are let go.
