RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Mercer full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Flexibility to work from home or from other cities / countries
Opportunities for rotations at sister companies, different cities, and in other lines of business
Exposure to many practice areas and industries
Self-starter culture on a local level
Ability to shape own career
Great work-life balance
Limited travellingCons
Very corporate organization; sometimes a little too large for my taste, especially because owned by MMC
Pays below market (but makes up for it to an extent with flexibility and work-life balance)Advice to Management
Talk to most junior employees. They have important insight that you are missing out on. Your middle management is often slow moving.

Approves of CEOI worked at Mercer full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
The people, events and groups were great - lots of things to get involved in and increase the culture of the company across the globe
Cons
Pays less than other companies with the same job, benefits aren't great (even as a benefits company) and structure is hard to move up or noticed
Advice to Management
Advancement should be fair and balanced for all employees, not just upper management.
