Good, if you adjust your salary expectations to the lower end of the scale - Associate Mercer Employee Review

Pros

Flexible schedule, intellectual capital, intelligent and highly capable senior colleagues. Great as an initial job - Mercer is a widely recognized name. Also if applying as an analyst or senior analyst, you most likely will be overtime eligible.

Cons

Long hours, poor compensation (for everyone except analysts and senior analysts who are now overtime eligible), not everyone is above average in the work they do but, sometimes, that doesn't seem as a factor taken into consideration in terms of compensation or promotions. If you are good at what you do, they'll attempt to overwork you unless you put your foot down and say no. But on the flipside, saying no will count against you.

Pros

paid well, honored sick leave and FMLA, reasonable benefits,

Cons

They don't actually pay bonuses, or at least not to new hires who fall through the cracks of team and project assignments - and they'll claim it's that person's fault with no way to change what's happening around them. Management supports discriminatory and bullying behavior regarding who gets billable work, who attends meetings and on-sites, etc. Mostly, men go and only younger or non-technical women. They had men present women's work as their own. If you protest too much, you're on the radar for life and anything you say can be misconstrued. You'll be told to not criticize or disparage coworkers, even though they all criticize you constantly.
