Pros

An international company that provides a great number of opportunities for growth, and for change.

Cons

Mercer is a very large publicly traded company, and consequently the bottom line (revenues) are the constant driving factor. Some managers are less equipped to manage people while faced with the pressures to improve the bottom line, and consequently the employee may get "thrown under the bus". Ask about things like employee turnover before accepting an offer here. And be aware that although some offices are managed pretty badly and feel like a war zone, others are managed really well and feel like a community. There are a lot of opportunities to change, if your current position doesn't make you happy!

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.
