Pros

It has been very enjoyable to work with some very bright, talented and interesting colleagues, especially the consultants. Mercer's HR-related services and products help benefit its corporate clients and positively touch the lives of their employees.

Cons

There has been too many wholesale changes at the senior management level which lead to de-stabilization throughout the firm. There is no work-life balance at the firm to compensate for the compensation and benefit policy of the firm which is pitched at the 50th percentile.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
