Mercer reviews

Sometimes feel as if you are not sufficiently rewarded for you efforts. Rewards packages geared more towards more those at higher levels, particularly in respect of bonuses (bonuses for those with <5 years experience are virtually non-existant). Some recent restucturing excerices leave you with the feeling your job is never safe, regardless of how well you or your unit is doing. Have seen some poor units closed, as well as some excellent ones.

It can be difficult to know where you stand career wise and when to expect to move up. I think there's a tendency toward rewarding higher level employees more readily than lower level employees even if the contribution relative to the position is similar. Training for new employees is very limited - I think there's a tendency to hire people who are ready to start day 1, rather than investing in people who could be trained to be great. I've seen lots of people hired because they have the name of one of our competitors on their resume and not much else. There is some erosion of niceties that we used to have - breakfast once a week, etc.
