Pros

Location is very feasible Wide variety of large projects Growing organization

Cons

Management is very strict and prefers micro managing No work life balance as management expects you to work at least 10-11 hours every day Working from home is not encouraged by the management Work flow is very old school and management do no encourage new changes Management do not acknowledge or appreciate despite working hard Working atmosphere is very stressful and fearful There is no process in place to provide feedback to its employees

Pros

Flexibility, PTO, and 401k match. Fun office and nice people to work with. Work was rather interesting, too.

Cons

I ultimately left Mercer because I was not seeing the career and pay progression I had expected and felt I deserved. Even after receiving excellent feedback from my teams, and performing at the level above me, there was no raise or promotion. Even if I waited around another year, the future still looked grim due to how upper management has been choosing to approach these things for rank and file consultants. To explain further, many who did get promoted this year only received a ~1% raise. Not to mention bonuses were cut again! If there’s one way to show you don’t properly value your people, that’s how you do it. I am not surprised at all how many people left Mercer in last 6 months because of this.
