Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Mercury Systems Inc. (MRCY.US) faces ethical scrutiny due to its core defense business, including an $8.5 million DoD contract for military radar systems, which significantly conflicts with "No War, No Weapons" values. Employee well-being is also a concern; reports suggest a CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio as high as 212:1. Glassdoor reviews show an average employee rating of 2.9/5 stars (20% below industry average), citing management issues, layoffs, and job security. Allegations of discrimination and harassment have also been reported. Its complex electronics supply chain presents potential ethical sourcing risks, including materials linked to conflict minerals.
