I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Mercer (Milán) in Dec 2013
Interview
2 interviews, 1 technical, 1 hr. had to prove hight enthusiasm for the job. Had to interview in local Italian language for the HR interview, though I am foreign..so was challenging. Great experience over all. Success.
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Mercer in Oct 2011
Interview
Signed up through an on-campus interview and was granted an interview a week later. Had a first round interview and was contacted a week later for a second round interview at their office.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mercer in Mar 2010
Interview
The phone interview was grueling. It was about 45min and consecutive "Tell me about a time" questions. You can expect the typical "Greatest strength and weakness" question. I go in for 2nd round interviews in a couple weeks and it is supposed to last the entire day where I will interview with several analysts and associates.
