Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Mercer (Melville, NY) in Oct 2018
Interview
This was by far the worst and most humiliating interview I've been through during my career. I drove 3 hours to the interview site in Long Island after completing multiple online assessments and a video interview. When I arrived, the hiring manager sat down and the first thing that he said was that one of my employers didn't exist because he couldn't find the employer on Google. I tried to explain that this employer was in fact real by giving him the address of the corporate office but he didn't want it. Next he said the recruiter made a mistake and that I didn't qualify for the position. He said I'm sorry but thanks for coming. The interview lasted less than 5 minutes. What a waste of time and energy. I really would appreciate if hiring managers and recruiters would connect and put the necessary effort to read the candidate's resume before scheduling an interview.
15min hirevue with pretty base level questions, know why you want to work at Mercer. After that, 1.5 hr interview with four consultants (2 per 45 min). Lots of questions based on your past experiences, why Mercer, etc.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Mercer (Houston, TX) in Jan 2021
Interview
Interviewed with the Houston office. First round hirevue, then advanced to the superday. 6 back to back interviews. Overall it was pretty behavioral. There were some Google questions that kind of threw me off
The first round was a timed video interview with a number of questions. The video was one-way with automated questions that you can read and have a certain amount of time to answer.
