      Pros

      - top firm in human capital space - very flexible work environment (e.g., easy to work from home, people are very respectful of your time/space) - get to work on lots of projects (staffing model is such that you will likely work on about 5 projects at a time) - management structure is lax (good for self-motivated people) - benefits seem good (company contributes 4% of your base to 401(k) plus they match 50% of the first 6% you contribute = max company contribution of 7% of your base) - compared to other consulting roles, hours are much more regular and not so intense (Analysts and Associates probably average 45-50 hours a week, bussiest weeks are 70-80 hours) - if you want a career in HR, Mercer is probably one of the best places to get your chops - lots of exit opportunities into corporate HR, Mercer brand is well respected in the market - limited travel requirements (could also be a con if you want to travel)

      Cons

      - compensation tends to be less competitive than comparable roles at other companies - work environment is not ambitious - it can be difficult to get staffed on projects beyond your team's core project work - lateral movement within Mercer is very difficult and changing teams is not aligned with company culture - while total hours worked is generally reasonable, you may be expected to work or at least respond to emails on weekends
