Pros

The people are very smart and committed to excellent client service. It can be a very strong foundation for a career at Mercer or with its clients.

Cons

The matrix organization is complex and bureaucatic. There is also a fairly high administrative and process burden that can distract from doing good work.

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
