Pros

Mercer is nice place to start a career, it has the brand name and has some very smart people people working there.

Cons

The process for performance ratings and compensation increases are very subjective. The typical day to day work is not very mathematical which does not lend itself to developing actuarial skills. Let analysts focus more on the mathematical side of things rather than on documenting the processes

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.
