Pros

I was only an intern with Mercer, so I cannot comment on all aspects of professional development, but I was extremely satisfied with my experience there. I came in with little knowledge of what the company did, but left feeling confident in my experience and abilities. I was charged with handling complex projects and worked with a wide variety of people. At the end of the summer they have all interns complete an internal presentation, fielding questions as if they were presenting to actual clients. Another huge perk was the constant free food and happy hours! Although they were in a hiring freeze at the end of the summer, they did come back and offer me full-time employment a few months later.

Cons

Because the company is so large, there are a lot of required training sessions and town hall that aren't necessarily relevant to all. But not a huge downer.

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
