Pros

Mercer is a strong player in the employer benefits consulting arena. The staff is very talented and the opportunity for exposure to a broad range of projects is great

Cons

Senior level consultants are not effective managers. There is a disconnect between the work that is done at the analyst level and how those efforts translate into meeting clients' objectives and strategy. An overemphasis on the bottom line.
