Pros

Some of the great reasons to work for Mercer include the professional environment, best in class reputation in the HR space, exposure to high-profile clients, and most of all, smart people. Overall, experience has been very positive.

Cons

Teamwork dimishes as economy declines. Overall, though, there's no better consulting employer. They're focused more on results than pedigree, and in turn, deliver higher quality work. Bonus potential is too sales driven for principles, and too billable hours driven for senior associates/associates. There used to be more of a focus on intellectual property contributions.

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.
