Pros

Analysts are salaried non-exempt, which means they get paid overtime. This is unique amongst entry-level positions at financial institutions. We also have a great dental plan that pays 50% of ortho.

Cons

The people who work here are boring. They are the kind of people who sit around and watch TV on the weekends, then have nothing to talk about on Monday. There's nothing wrong with that, but if you are an interesting person with an exciting life, then Mercer is not the place for you. Also, employees are not provided with public transportation passes, which is a major expense in the majority of cities.

Pros

paid well, honored sick leave and FMLA, reasonable benefits,

Cons

They don't actually pay bonuses, or at least not to new hires who fall through the cracks of team and project assignments - and they'll claim it's that person's fault with no way to change what's happening around them. Management supports discriminatory and bullying behavior regarding who gets billable work, who attends meetings and on-sites, etc. Mostly, men go and only younger or non-technical women. They had men present women's work as their own. If you protest too much, you're on the radar for life and anything you say can be misconstrued. You'll be told to not criticize or disparage coworkers, even though they all criticize you constantly.
