Pros

You'll be dealing with knowledgeable people and some good tools to assist you in your work. You'll gain great industry experience and you'll learn a lot.

Cons

As part of gaining the experience your pay will start to lag behind what Mercury is willing to pay. When a number of co-workers looked at their job titles they realized they were 10-20% underpaid compared to industry average.

Thank you for this review. We value the feedback we receive on GlassDoor and do our best to use the information we receive to become a better place to work and grow. It makes us very happy to hear that you have learned a lot at your time with Mercury. Mercury is evolving their Total Rewards philosophy to offer a strategic array of programs to attract, motivate, reward, develop, engage and retain our employees. We look at Total Compensation, and base salary as just one component. We offer a competitive incentives and benefit program using relevant external market data in all of our programs to make sure we are competitive in our pay and benefits. Recently, we also implemented a career structure to help our employees understand how they can advance and develop their career with Mercury. Thank you again for taking the time to leave this review. We wish you all the best.
