Mercer reviews

You have to threaten to leave to see any pay progression. The red tape is extreme. No trust in leadership below the Executive team. No reward for good people management. The performance metrics change frequently with poor communication of the changes. No appreciation for tenure - only focused on new blood for innovation. The new regime is a Gestapo and believe that business starts and ends in NYC. Psst - there is phenomenal talent outside of the Big Apple. Open your eyes!! The North America President is a pitbull in a skirt. She snaps judgement so quickly and is extremely inappropriate in her language and behavior. Her lackeys will do anything for her, sacrificing their integrity, business policies, legal advice and their own personal life. The minute you push back - you are a goner.

Mercer had one of the most robotic and soulless cultures I’ve ever worked in over my career. No one genuinely cared about anyone’s best interest but their own and the amount of petty corporate politics was mind blowing . While I was proud to tell people I worked at a large and established company, behind the scenes told a very different story. They were disorganized, inept, and lacked any empathy. Perhaps the worst interactions I experienced, who displayed these behaviors the most, were ironically with the People team leadership . It says a lot about a company when you have leadership displaying behaviors that they police other employees not to exhibit. It was shocking what I observed and heard from the People executive who should be advocating against toxicity, bullying, and discrimination - not being its ring leader. Culture starts at the top and I hope they begin embracing diverse and safe environments for all employees because it’s both embarrassing and sad to not do so at this point.
