Pros

Experience--The consultans are very smart and have and if you can get them to share, you can learn a lot.

Cons

joining the firm from another industry, it is very difficult to learn from the bottom up.

Pros

It's a great place to work if your goal is to become an actuary. There is a great support system already set up. They pay for exams and study materials. They even grant you study days. Mercer even promotes recreational activites amongst their actuarial analyst. Like any large corporation there are clicks; however once you find the one you belong, they are like family. The free sodas are pretty good too.

Cons

Absolutely no room for growth for it's administrative staff. It's easier to land a plane on the hudson than it is to find career advancement opportunities for an administrative assistant.

Pros

In my business group within Mercer, I experience a challenging, fun, fast-paced work environment. I have great flexibility in my work/life balance including opportunities to work from home, adjust my work-hours as necessary, etc. On the flip side, I work a lot - many hours - but it's work that I truly enjoy, so for me, it's great. My direct team and supervisor are outstanding and the whole experience has been great for me.

Cons

Other business groups within Mercer can be quite bureaucratic and "stiff". I do know a number of employees in those groups who are quite satisfied in that environment, but I wouldn't be.
