Pros

The pay and bonus structure are good compared to other jobs in IT.

Cons

Unending criticism and dissatisfaction with employees on the part of management. Crushing hours. Bitchy, fussy male managers. Unrealistic continuous improvement and offshoring approach. Lack of system automation and maturity. Lack of project management and operational maturity. Fully manual processes on almost everything. Read: you and your team will fail because inefficiency and error are built in to Mercer management and processes. Unmaintainable and unsupported base system code. Continued failure of systems group to upgrade anything, ever. Lack of a vendor management team and contracts with vendor suppliers. I could go on and on....

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
