I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Mercer in Nov 2017
Interview
3 rounds - 1st round was with the recruiter, 2nd with a manager and 3rd with the head of the technology wing. Last round was focused on brainteasers. Overall, it was straightforward and everyone was very nice.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Mercer
Interview
This was an online interview out of college. Very behavioral based questions. This consisted of video recordings with a limited number of takes allowed for each response. Nothing very technical was required
Simple 5 or 6 questions, half behavioural half industry related. 2 interviewers, both asked questions equally. Atmosphere was as expected, and somewhat friendly towards asking them questions, but I would say don’t ask more than 1.

Question 1
Name a time you worked in a group and dealt with conflict
First interview with team member talking about experience and projects on resume, then second interview with more senior team member diving deeper into project and resume experience. No case or technical questions
