The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Mercer in Feb 2011
Interview
The interviewers were very easy to talk to. They asked mainly behavioral questions and asked me why I thought I was qualified to work at Mercer. Respond with evidence to back up whatever point you are trying to make and be sure it is a quality they are actually looking for. Take some time to attempt to discover what type of worker they are looking for and tell them why you think you are a match.

The interview felt very conversational and comfortable, and the questions were pretty basic of a phone interview. They just really were trying to get to know me.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mercer in Feb 2012
Interview
Mercer has a unique interview style and is very concerned about finding a right fit for the company. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and the people are fantastic.
First round interview, met with an Associate in Health and Benefits and went through introductions. Then I was asked one or two behavioral questions. The interviewer then set everything down and asked if I had any questions about Mercer. They really want to see your interest in the company.
A week later, was invited to Second Rounds at the office. The second rounds consists of 4 back to back 30 minute interviews with Principals and Associates. This is then followed by a lunch with past interns. You may meet up with your original interviewer - which is nice. The interviews themselves were all pretty unstructured and I would suggest that you really prepare a lot of questions to show your interest. I really enjoyed speaking with everyone and it was definitely one of the most enjoyable interviews I've had
