Pros

Real flexitime, pension benefits, as a whole the company takes care of their staff

Cons

This is not a comment on the company as a whole - limited to accountability in digital business units. Seems that there are no real chiefs - lots of confused indians who think they are chiefs. Staff take advantage of flexitime and are often absent or unavailable which affects ones ability to get projects done. Middle management just not interested in seeing projects completed efficiently. or correctly. Surprising for a management consulting firm.

Mercer Colleague, Thank you for your candid response, we are disappointed to hear about your negative experience. As you have explained, Mercer offers an agile working policy like many other companies and we trust colleagues not to abuse this. We often hear from colleagues that the work they do, the clients they work with and the colleagues they work with are the things they value the most. We are sorry to hear your experience this far has not been reflective of our culture. The pace of change is faster than ever but we always strive to provide stability for all colleagues whilst adapting to an environment that is ever-evolving, innovative and focused on the future of work. This does mean that colleagues have to adapt to change. We understand how efficiency changes over the years can be challenging. We take a great deal of pride in our culture, values, and the leadership of our colleagues. If you are willing to provide more insight into your experience, feel free to contact us at ColleagueFeedback@Mercer.com.
