I was referred by an employee who got me in touch with someone for an informal meeting over coffee. That initial "meet and greet" helped me see that Mercer could be a good fit for me and kick-started the interview process. A few weeks later we arranged for more formal interviews, where I met with six individuals (two at a time). Meeting with so many people at different stages of their careers helped me a get a sense of the culture at Mercer. From there, we worked together to define a role that worked for both of us.
