Pros

Great clients, great colleagues, used to have a very colleigal atmosphere that has been lost over the last few years

Cons

Has become incessantly obsessed with margins and profits. This is great for the shareholders and will produce great results for a couple of years. Longer term, Mercer's success will depend on being able to attract and motivate very talented professionals. Will be increasingly difficult with current leadership rife with bureaucracy, focus on sucking up to levels and more interested in keeping their jobs rather than developing their teams.

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
