I applied online. I interviewed at Mercer in Oct 2023
Interview
Had a HireVue interview which consisted of multiple video recordings, a few short answers, and then logic games. After that, you will receive an invitation to complete an hour and half zoom interview with 3 separate 30 minute interviews.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had a project with a tight deadline. Tell me why you chose Mercer. Tell me about your resume and anything you want to stand out.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mercer in Oct 2018
Interview
Applied via college portal, selected for one-way video interview answering 8 questions, then on-site with team. Mostly behavioral questions asked (only one brain teaser question and only during vid interview). The final 3-hr interview was also behavioral/assessing if you'd be a good collaborator, but there was a 30-min Excel/PPT test that was easy but extremely inefficient with technical issues hindering completion.
Everyone there was extremely nice but recruiter seemed in over their head with their role and fumbled logistics and emails a number of times. Received a call from one of the consultants who worked with recruiting a week after the final interview to learn I was not selected. Could've just sent an email to soften the blow, as the consultant didn't give any reason as to why I was not selected/gave false hope.

Question 1
Why Mercer? Why should we hire you? Why consulting? Behavioral questions (fairly typical ones). Mini case-style, brain teaser question you can give an open-ended answer to.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Mercer in Dec 2022
Interview
First started with an online interview like HireVue, then a Zoom call with two different teams based in the two locations I was applying to. Each meeting lasted 20 minutes.
I applied online. I interviewed at Mercer (Atlanta, GA) in Nov 2022
Interview
Two sets of group behavioral interviews (two people each), 45 minute sessions separated with a 30 minute break in between. No case studies, but situational questions are asked. A majority of the questions were largely behavioral and gauged your character. Prior to this interview, a pre-recorded Hirevue is required too.
