Marsh & McLennan Companies Reviews

I have been working at Marsh & McLennan Companies

Pros – It's a great company. Excellent pay, excellent advancement opportunities, scored 100 on the HRC Equality Index, community service minded, flexible in scheduling

Cons – The one big con I can think of is that MMC is such a huge company that you can sometimes feel like just a number, but that feeling goes away pretty quickly.

Pros – The leadership of the company is breaking down silos, investing in innovation, and is looking to develop the company's top talent.

Cons – There are too many crusty old curmudgeons holding onto the ways of the past. We need some fresh blood and fresh thinking to quickly resuscitate this century-old organization.

Advice to Senior Management – Invest in people, invest in innovation. Embrace failure, embrace learning. Manage risk, manage complexity--don't try to avoid or eliminate it.

I have been working at Marsh & McLennan Companies

Pros – The culture is great; full of friendly people, fun social events and very little gossip. Most of the managers, including mine, are wonderful and help make it a good place to work.

Cons – Unfortunately, the corporate office is always trying to cut our budget, which means no raises, and a too-small staff. Turnover is very high.

Advice to Senior Management – Value your employees more through higher/fair wages and opportunities to earn more in the future.

I have been working at Marsh & McLennan Companies

Pros – -Peers are generally leaders in the industry
-Relationships amongst peers are friendly
-Resources are at your fingertips
-Decent job stability

Cons – -Zero salary and bonus transparency
-Undervalue promising young colleagues, which is why the majority leave
-Very outdated technology
-Slow career growth
-Cutting nickels and dimes at every corner, which makes it harder to feel valued and also more difficult to perform my job in certain instances

Advice to Senior Management – All the discussions about transparency with clients, you need some with your employees. There needs to be some idea of what people can expect to receive in terms of compensation and benefits as they advance. Also, there need to be more clear guidelines for advancement. Please update the technology. No "global leader" should be using IE 6 when IE 9 is being unveiled.

I worked at Marsh & McLennan Companies

Pros – they treat people baddly so they are forced to pay better than average wages. I would rather take a much lower paying job than stay there, which is what I did.

Cons – Management is horrible, no leadership at all.
You are a resource to be consumed then disposed of. I worked there for 2 years in that time my location had a turnover rate (voluntary) of ~ 40%

Advice to Senior Management – learn how to treat people with respect. we do not exist only to serve the company. there is no work life balance. managemant plays favorites all the time.

I worked at Marsh & McLennan Companies

Pros – The pay is good. The people are nice, but the working environment sucks. I guess that's what you get for being an intern

Cons – The days were really long because they didn't really give you much to do. I basically sat at my computer making money. Kinda sweet, but it was sooooooooooo boring.

Advice to Senior Management – Please develop some sort of structured internship program. Give them an organized set of responsibilities. Promote interaction between the interns of the company.
