Pros

Really smart people, diverse offices, lots of opportunities to work on projects, high-profile clients and strong reputation in the market

Cons

Pay is lagging and the company is very resistant to decent raises, benefits are subpar, disconnect between parent company leadership and reality on the ground, aging technology and surprising lack of resources for a company this size, workload and pressure is very high for below-market salaries

Pros

I worked with some great people. The systems weren’t too bad either.

Cons

I worked for Mercer a long time and saw a lot of good very qualified people get let go. It’s just part of their business, the only problem is they are not good at correcting their course after the layoffs, leaving people feel aimless and without any sort of purpose, this inaction queues those people up for the next round of layoffs. So instead of helping and supporting and training they just watch you fade.
