I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Mercer (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
Ridiculous first of all. The first round is through HireVue, which is an online interveiw platform that had a series of questions, and you would have 30 seconds to a minute to answer them. For the most part, they were simply easy. "Why would you want to work here" etc. It's nerve racking and uncomfortable, I'd highly recommend to really prepare for this. It's so weird and awkward and it totally threw me off. They took FOREVER to get back to me, only to tell me it wasn't good news. But maybe this wasn't for me, and I wish everyone nothing but success to ace this interview. PRACTICE!
I applied online. I interviewed at Mercer in Nov 2022
Interview
15min hirevue with pretty base level questions, know why you want to work at Mercer. After that, 1.5 hr interview with four consultants (2 per 45 min). Lots of questions based on your past experiences, why Mercer, etc.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Mercer (Houston, TX) in Jan 2021
Interview
Interviewed with the Houston office. First round hirevue, then advanced to the superday. 6 back to back interviews. Overall it was pretty behavioral. There were some Google questions that kind of threw me off
The first round was a timed video interview with a number of questions. The video was one-way with automated questions that you can read and have a certain amount of time to answer.
