Pros

There are some great long serving employees who unfortunately don't realise how much greener the grass is elsewhere.

Cons

The Executive Leadership Team is only focused on getting results for their line of business and to boost their career trajectory. A couple of leadership team members have been accused of bullying but complaints are not addressed by HR. These issues are know right across the firm, as is the fact that they are not addressed and the poor leadership behaviour is accepted.

Former Colleague – First, thank you for your over 20 years of work with Mercer. Thank you also for your candid feedback. We take a great deal of pride in our culture at Mercer and know that our colleagues stay with us both because they love the work they do and the people they work with. As you noted, we do have many fantastic colleagues who have chosen to make Mercer their home for their career. However, we are disappointed to hear about the issues you have raised and your feelings about leadership styles at Mercer. We have zero tolerance for any negative behavior like what you have described and will look into your feedback accordingly. Thank you again for taking the time to share your perspectives and for your long service with Mercer. Should you wish to provide additional thoughts, please feel free to email colleaguefeedback@mercer.com.

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
