Pros

The people I work with are great. There's a strong focus on flexibility and ensuring that employees are treated like adults. There's also a really good employee benefits programme with new initiatives regularly being added.

Cons

At times the matrix nature of the organisation means that there can be more red tape then you'd like but this is widely acknowledged as something to rectify

Pros

Great clients, great colleagues, used to have a very colleigal atmosphere that has been lost over the last few years

Cons

Has become incessantly obsessed with margins and profits. This is great for the shareholders and will produce great results for a couple of years. Longer term, Mercer's success will depend on being able to attract and motivate very talented professionals. Will be increasingly difficult with current leadership rife with bureaucracy, focus on sucking up to levels and more interested in keeping their jobs rather than developing their teams.
