Pros

- Solid work life balance - Some great Principals and Partners

Cons

- Pay is incredibly below market. After speaking to several recruiters, we are talking like 20-50%. It's bonkers. - They (executive leadership) don't listen to their own consultants - Awful local leadership (NY)

Former colleague, Thank you for your constructive feedback and the over 8 years of dedication to Mercer. Regarding our goals and compensation, we always strive to improve, but one critical goal is to reward our talent fairly and transparently. We are clearly disappointed to hear about the experience you had while at Mercer and wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
