Pros

- You will get a lot of exposure very quickly. If you can swim (versus sink) in the environment, you'll have th opportunity to obtain a great wealth of knowledgy from some of the industry's best subject-matter experts.

Cons

Senior management is absolutely terrible, along with the company's internal structure. Nothing is communicated clearly to employees and turnover is very high within the firm.

Good, if you adjust your salary expectations to the lower end of the scale

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible schedule, intellectual capital, intelligent and highly capable senior colleagues. Great as an initial job - Mercer is a widely recognized name. Also if applying as an analyst or senior analyst, you most likely will be overtime eligible.

Cons

Long hours, poor compensation (for everyone except analysts and senior analysts who are now overtime eligible), not everyone is above average in the work they do but, sometimes, that doesn't seem as a factor taken into consideration in terms of compensation or promotions. If you are good at what you do, they'll attempt to overwork you unless you put your foot down and say no. But on the flipside, saying no will count against you.

Pros

They have some wonderful people (if you are lucky enough to find your way to them) who really cares about your personal and professional growth

Cons

Toxic culture. Respect is what they tout but definitely confined to their advertisement on website. If you were there 10 years ago, you will know the company has degenerated to beyond recognition. Different set of people running the show now. Morale down after sending valuation work to India.
