Pros

- People are polite and most know how to have a good time - big name, get a lot of great exposures to the healthcare industry (if you're into it) - cool events that broaden your network internally and externally

Cons

- No growth. I see senior associates 5 years older than me not doing anything different than my job - Bureaucratic. People are nice but I was assigned a pretty bad manager, in my very unlucky case it severely impacted my career. However, my friends there with supportive managers are still thriving! Overall, the people associated with you have more impact than your actual ability to deliver. Their ability and willingness to advocate for you matters, and frankly it is the only way up. - People are COMFORTABLE: At one point I looked at the people around me and realized I didn't want to turn into anyone of them. For someone in their early twenties who actually care about learning, challenging, and discovering my professional self, I don't see a fit - Pay so little it's EMBARRASSING !! They have very high quality candidates from Cal, Harvard, Stanford, but are so successful at making them feel like nothing with a 70k salary and 50 hour work week

Pros

Large company with lots of resources

Cons

- extremely low morale through the lower ranks - getting talked down to by team leads - no action is taken when you reach out for help - mercer will keep employees that have been there for years even if they are causing problems/not doing their jobs

Pros

There are alot of check box items, that make the company look great on paper

Cons

The lived experience of the employee is not great, for example; they might have a 'tick' for employer of choice for women, but I would not agree that it is. Having seen 'behind the scenes' there is not transparency around salaries, support for employee sickness and well being. There is a lot of talk of flexibility but you better be in meetings that are put in your diary at any time of the day. Redundancy 'cycle' every 12 months.
