Pros

Comprehensive benefits and no shortage of work to be done. There are a handful of really great leaders in the company. If you are lucky enough to work for one of them, you will be very happy. Your time outside of the earshot of those leaders can vary from okay to downright soul-sucking.

Cons

HR, as others have stated, is a massive problem that nobody in the company will address. Sarcasm from most in HR is the norm. It would help if they started hiring HR individuals from who didn't ride into work every day on a broomstick. Today, I realized that many of the meetings I attend at Mercury have the maturity level of a group of kindergarteners.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us feedback. I am happy to see you consider our benefits a pro - we have worked really hard to ensure Mercury offers "total rewards" to its employees. I agree we have a group of very skilled managers and are working to develop them all so they grow and help their employees do the same. As the CHRO of Mercury, I am always open to and looking for constructive feedback to help continue to build the HR function of the company. I care very much about the employees of this company and I have an open door policy. I encourage you to come meet with me to share your concerns and issues. It’s very important to me that I do hear all feedback whether it's regarding my team or another so that we can continue to develop and grow. Please feel free to come to my office or call or email me (978 967 1471, emma.woodthorpe@mrcy.com) to address your concerns directly. With more information or examples we'll have a better opportunity to correct the issues. I will always listen and where possible make changes and improvements. Thank you, Emma Woodthorpe, SVP & CHRO
