      You get out of it, what you put into it.

      Pros

      If you are willing to work hard, you can find many opportunities. The willingness to accept change is critical as the firm grows. Mercer is likley going to grow significantly over the next 3 years, and with growth comes new job opportunities and challanges.

      Cons

      Mercer (our parent company MMC really...) approaches management and HR at a global level without understanding the unique challanges of each operating company. This can create challenges as each may have differing business/management needs.

      Wonderful Internship Experience

      Pros

      I was only an intern with Mercer, so I cannot comment on all aspects of professional development, but I was extremely satisfied with my experience there. I came in with little knowledge of what the company did, but left feeling confident in my experience and abilities. I was charged with handling complex projects and worked with a wide variety of people. At the end of the summer they have all interns complete an internal presentation, fielding questions as if they were presenting to actual clients. Another huge perk was the constant free food and happy hours! Although they were in a hiring freeze at the end of the summer, they did come back and offer me full-time employment a few months later.

      Cons

      Because the company is so large, there are a lot of required training sessions and town hall that aren't necessarily relevant to all. But not a huge downer.

      As good as a consulting environment can get.

      Pros

      Some of the great reasons to work for Mercer include the professional environment, best in class reputation in the HR space, exposure to high-profile clients, and most of all, smart people. Overall, experience has been very positive.

      Cons

      Teamwork dimishes as economy declines. Overall, though, there's no better consulting employer. They're focused more on results than pedigree, and in turn, deliver higher quality work. Bonus potential is too sales driven for principles, and too billable hours driven for senior associates/associates. There used to be more of a focus on intellectual property contributions.
