Pros

Great colleagues. Around the world I found that Mercer colleagues are cut from the same cloth; eager to learn or to teach; focused on client needs first The work is very motivating. While there are available common tools and processes that support consulting assignments, the unique context of each client situation makes each assignment challenging. Mercer has deep resources to support consulting. Mercer's data are worldwide and global.

Cons

The tension between LOB (practice) and Geography can be distracting in emerging markets. Insights into differences in regional and local markets in emerging markets are mostly regional and local.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
