Current Employee - Part Time Assistant

I have been working at Bain & Company part-time

Pros

It has excellent mentorship and great projects

Cons

Everything was good. Nothing bad.

Current Intern - Actuarial Intern

I have been working at Mercer for less than a year

Pros

I interned in the health line of business. Would highly recommend; internship was educational, fun, and highly rewarding. I was able to do the work of a full time analyst, see projects through from... beginning to end, and send decks that I'd assembled directly to clients.

Cons

Working in employee benefits means less exposure to broader actuarial functions.
