Pros

Descent benefits. The work life balance has gotten better

Cons

Some smart people but also some real morons. No clear cut criteria for promotion/advancement, at least there is a criteria, but it is not followed at all. Double standards are rampant in this company and for some reason they reward failure by promoting those people up.

Pros

Being a global company with many different departments, it's easy to have a long term career at Mercer and find various roles.

Cons

Very senior folks at Mercer get paid well, but everyone below the principle level are disgruntled with pay and how pay is determined. Senior management routinely conducts firm-wide surveys and shares the fact that this is prevalent - but never does anything to change things.
