Pros

Like many of the top consulting shops, the firm has great clients, interesting work, and very smart employees. The culture is perhaps more down to earth than MBB in general. The firm has some solid depth in both industries and services/functions.

Cons

The firm is struggling with how to integrate its three legacy companies, which had 3 distinct operating models and cultures. Legacy Mercer Management was a classic strategy shop across industries, legacy Oliver Wyman did a full range of work from strategy to ops to implementation in the financial industry, and Delta did organization and leadership work across industries. The firm still operates essentially as 3 separate units which is a huge problem.

Pros

Good culture, solid pay, good benefits

Cons

Same as with most big companies. HR a little too focused on DEI and feel good inclusion initiatives over things that matter to most employees and clients. Top management messaging is generic and seems forced. But all senior leadership seem fairly genuine and good people vs. hyper focused on dollars alone.
