I applied through university. I interviewed at Mercer (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Beware! They told me to book a hotel and travel and I booked at their recommended place and took the bus. The entire day totaled over 500$ and they STILL haven't reimbursed me. The interview was a year ago and they keep passing me around their silly beaucratic ladder trying to avoid paying. Worse, they took over 2 months to get back to me and I had to prod them to even respond. Stay away from Mercer.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mercer in Oct 2022

I applied online. I interviewed at Mercer in Mar 2022

Two 45-Min interviews with 4 people. Mostly behavioral questions, trying to get to know your personality. Not really any technical questions. They just try to get a sense of who you are.

Question 1
Tell us about a time you worked with a difficult coworker
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Mercer in Aug 2021
Interview
I did one phone screening with HR. I did a phone call with a Sourcer. I did a video interview with a manager. I did four more separate interviews with the team, some with two people and some with one person. I waited two weeks for a response and heard nothing. The sourcer got back to me and wanted to me to meet with another THREE people. I declined as they obviously did not respect the applicants time in having me wait weeks for a response and spend significant time interviewing with multiple people. This would be meeting a total of 10 people over a two month period for an entry level role. Very bad interview process and experience!
