Pros

Excellent Pay (six-figure base salary capabale) the consultants are nice overall, you will learn alot. The CEO Julio is phenomenal, it's a big 4 firm so once you work here, everyone will want to hire you. They do have a really cool 6 month transfer program which allows you to travel around to different segments similar to an internship in different divisions, those people get promoted the fastest. You will make alot of great friends but you will frequently hear from other colleagues that they like the company but not the people they work with, which is really ironic yet so true.

Cons

Terrible culture, not really an inclusive environment like they sell you in the videos, they truly inflate the diversity numbers to get you in the door to help make the D&I quota. You should always take notes because managers are bad about throwing you under the bus to a partner when they screw up a deal based on advice they actually gave you. Very high turnover and also very high rehire rate as well. Most people leave to get promoted with a competitor and then return to move up to a higher job level. They unfortunately don't practice what they preach. The Atlanta office managers have major MICRO-MANAGEMENT issues at a level that I have never encountered before, they want you to risk your safety for a proposal due date.

Former colleague, Thank you for taking the time to share your candid thoughts and feedback. We are very proud of our rotational programs that you mention – they are one of many opportunities for colleagues to explore different career paths, connect with each other, learn about all areas of our business, and grow their careers. We are very disappointed to hear your general experience with our culture and the spirit of inclusiveness at Mercer. Your experience is inconsistent with our data as over the years we have received consistently high marks on our engagement survey in these areas. If you wish to provide any additional context on your comments, we would like to know more. Please feel free to email us at ColleagueFeedback@Mercer.com
