Pros

The best reason to work at Mercer is the quality of the consulting staff who are smart and driven without being cut throat competitive. Mercer also has a very open and collaborative work environment. Historically has been a great company for advancement for self-motivated, entrepreneurial types. Mercer also has an unrivaled array of offerings, specialties and is generally very supportive of lateral movement within the company.

Cons

Mercer has a distinct lack of clarity around career paths and how rewards are distributed. Recently, the company has also engaged in a proliferation of processes and infrastructure that hinders consultants from spending time on clients.

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
