Pros

Mercer name and reputation in the industry; nice to have it on the resume.

Cons

Poor, very poor communication from top down. Seems like the leaders are those who bring in business or are about to...until the next crop of anointed ones are named. No operational team means that the anointed ones are appointed to roles where they often lack the people skills needed to lead or even effectively manage. Elitism is rampant.
