I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mercer in Jan 2023
Interview
There were 3 rounds: Hirevue, Interview with 2 team members (Excel-based case) and an in-person interview with 2 senior members at the office. I received amazing support from the HR managers and everyone who interviewed me was pleasant. I can feel that they want to get to know me and my skills as well as how I would fit with the company. The interview consisted of mostly fit questions. I was given 30 min to finish the excel-based case interview, followed by 10min to discuss the case with 2 team members and 20 mins of behavioural questions. The excel case was to assess my excel skills and my analytical thinking.
