Pros

Amazing benefits for vacation, sick and personal time. However very bad 401k for a company that manages money.

Cons

Are you looking for a promising career in technology, one that can expand your knowledge and help you grow with the team? Well if that’s what you're looking for, stay far away from this company. The whole company is in chaos mode. They decided to move everything from California to Colorado and fire all the technology staff because they didn’t want to move, then have no one to pass off institutional knowledge to the new technology staff and expect everything to run perfectly. Then fire everyone they hired to replace them. Then the CTO steps down and quits weeks later. Upper management lacks any type of vision for the future of the company and just keeps blaming problems on their lack of an adequate budget, instead of understanding the underlying problems. They are hiring supervisors that don’t know anything about technology and believing that because the supervisors know how to “manage” it'll be okay. Guess what, just because someone kind of knows how to manage does not mean they know how to manage the IT "team" which oversees the whole network infrastructure. (Teamwork and collaboration between coworkers is actively discouraged.) I’m shocked that this company has made it this far and people still invest their money into this company. Upper management has no idea how to run the company and it's all smoke screens. Sooner or later this company will fail, whether by management failure or their infrastructure being compromised, and everyone will lose. I would stay far away from this company and go look elsewhere for investment needs and career growth. There are so many better options for both elsewhere!

Pros

The team is made up of many talented and driven professionals who are sharp, collaborative, and willing to work hard to support one another. The flexibility of remote work can also be a valuable benefit at times.

Cons

Advancement on the team appears to depend heavily on building a strong relationship with the Vice President and consistently working extended hours, often in the range of 60–70 hours per week. Those who are unable to maintain that workload may find their career progression limited. The team has also recently implemented capacity metrics to closely monitor daily productivity and task allocation. The environment may be better suited to professionals who are comfortable prioritizing work demands, as much of the management team is relatively early in their careers and may have different perspectives on work–life balance. Additionally, candidates holding designations such as CFA, CFP, or an MBA should be aware that this role is primarily operations- and processing-focused rather than investment consulting. Mercer’s dedicated investment consulting responsibilities are handled within a separate department known as Strategist.
