Mercer reviews

Flat organization affords good opportunities to work across teams at different levels and across different practices (for instance, a client may purchase Retirement services in addition to Health & Benefits services). Global leader in consulting, outsourcing & investments. Talented, knowledgeable staff. Great internal resources, including an extensive intranet and access to subject matter experts across the country. Company-wide townhalls are timely and very helpful. Competitive compensation package. Business casual dress and casual Fridays. Planned social events every month or so. Typically, the San Francisco office hosts a holiday party (for employees only) in December and a Giants or As tailgate/game in the summer (for employees and family members).

Mercer has a good brand name for future possible movement to the client side of the business. Mercer offers some really intelligent people that you can work with. It offers decent pay compared to some other industries and some internal roles. You get to work with a variety of different clients across a large number of different industries. Mercer tries to staff locally and therefore travel is not too taxing at all. When you do need to travel, they try to keep travel local (so if you're based in the NY office, usually you'll be spending time in the North East. It is good as a first job out of college to understand what is out there in the big world of HR.
