Pros

An international company that provides a great number of opportunities for growth, and for change.

Cons

Mercer is a very large publicly traded company, and consequently the bottom line (revenues) are the constant driving factor. Some managers are less equipped to manage people while faced with the pressures to improve the bottom line, and consequently the employee may get "thrown under the bus". Ask about things like employee turnover before accepting an offer here. And be aware that although some offices are managed pretty badly and feel like a war zone, others are managed really well and feel like a community. There are a lot of opportunities to change, if your current position doesn't make you happy!

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
