Featured Review

Current Employee - Solution Principal

I have been working at Slalom full-time for more than 5 years

Pros

Slalom puts people first, always

Cons

Career path can be challenging to see but this is being addressed in the new career framework

Advice to Management

Keep listening to your people and taking action on their suggestions.

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.
