Pros

- Opportunities are available should you meet their agenda and agree to sub-standard pay. - The lovely souls you meet along the way, who have given up the decision to leave despite the depression and anxiety which ensues.

Cons

Senior Mercer staff have shed any scrap of humanity to gain their positions of power and are a detriment to those around them. Clients are provided the same tried and failed administrative support and consulting services. Flagrant favouritism, nepotism and inner circle culture. Performance discussions are not conducted according to KPI’s... Your performance discussion is had weeks post your true assessment already being completed and sent to New York for approval - facade. Inner circle staff come and go as they please “working from home” while dedicated individuals work 5 days a week to pick up the slack. I have never felt more sick, anxious and relieved to leave such a toxic environment.

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.
