I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mercer (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2015
Interview
Had first round 30 minute on campus interview on a Monday. Mostly conversational/informational with a couple standard questions. Had a great experience and it was really laid back. Got an email Friday I was invited to superday at the office the following Friday. At superday had 6 back to back interviews then lunch with the other candidates and younger analysts. Got an email the following Monday saying I got an offer which I will be accepting. All the interviews were really laid back only a few behavioral questions here and there but everything else was just completely conversational. I could they were really looking for a personality match and I actually enjoyed myself in the interviews.

Biggest accomplishment & biggest challenge from past internship
I applied through university. I interviewed at Mercer
Interview
This was an online interview out of college. Very behavioral based questions. This consisted of video recordings with a limited number of takes allowed for each response. Nothing very technical was required
Simple 5 or 6 questions, half behavioural half industry related. 2 interviewers, both asked questions equally. Atmosphere was as expected, and somewhat friendly towards asking them questions, but I would say don’t ask more than 1.
