Pros

Smart, driven colleagues and great office leader. Great office culture and freedom to drive your own career. Lots of diversity regarding types of clients and projects. Within the offices, hierarchy is generally flat and junior employees have access to senior consultants. Junior staff has a strong voice in driving office culture.

Cons

Leadership (executives at Mercer) are out of touch with lines of business and local offices. Lots of rebranding and reorganizing that doesn't make sense or positively impact the business. Compensation could be more competitive. Technology needs to be better.

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
