Pros

- The 3 or 4 managers I had in my time at Mercer were all fantastic - Flexible with work life balance and hours - Good opportunities - Clear goals and targets - Support available if you ever need it - Good rewards and recognition

Cons

- Hard to get a decent pay rise without leaving the company and coming back - Too much of remuneration was down to a bonus pool which would always change at the review time - Departments can feel siloed - Can feel political at times - Large amounts of mandatory training companywide that was irrelevant to your job role/duties

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
