Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Mercer (Phoenix, AZ) in May 2019

There was an initial phone screen, another phone interview, and then a half day of in-person interviews (5 rounds with 2 interviewers in each round). The entire process took less than 2 weeks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Mercer? Why this job? Specific excel formula questions.
First round was HireVue with a short essay, video questions, and two games. Then had final round and it was 3 1 on 1 interviews. All behavioral with some questions about technical experience. Interviewers were great and the process was smooth and efficient. Very communicative and were transparent each step of the way.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Name a time when you faced a challenge and how you overcame it
Just got to the initial video interview which was recorded videos. They asked basic questions about the position and behavioral questions. You had a chance to re-record. Didn’t make it passed this round but was ghosted for 4 months.
First is a HireVue interview of behavioral questions and a couple of exercises, then it is followed by 2 hours of common behavioral questions, including STAR method questions, etc. Both ask about difficult situations, but most importantly be prepared to answer why Mercer is a top choice
