Featured Review

Former Employee - Advisory Associate

I worked at PwC full-time for less than a year

Pros

Great people, experience, and exposure.

Cons

Long hours and little recognition.

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.
