I applied online. I interviewed at Mercer (New York, NY) in Sep 2011
Interview
Apply online via their website. Documents to be included are resume, cover letter, and transcript. Interviewers don't really care too much about your grades, as long as they meet a certain threshold and you compensate that with something else on your resume (ie: more exams, previous experience). After about 1 week, phone interview set up. Pretty basic questions and felt a little bit too loose.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mercer (Belfast, Northern Ireland) in Sep 2016
Interview
Did a video interview. Standard interview questions and was invited to a face-to-face interview in Belfast. The interview there consisted of more standard interview questions and lasted about an hour. After this came an excel test where you had to look for inconsistencies in two datasets.
I was told that they would reimburse my travel expenses, and despite several emails, they never have. They have also had no contact since the interview even to tell me that I was unsuccessful.
