Pros

Incredibly nice people and lots of flexibility to take time off and work flexible schedules. The 10/11 Month year is highly popular and allows people to pursure personal goals. Also, non-profit fellowships allow people to volunteer and get paid 40% of their base salary to do so. Lots of opportunity to travel with new consultants being able to get on international cases day one (v.s competitors where you have to wait until year 3).

Cons

Internal confusion over recent rebrand. One brand, but still operated as two very separate businesses (Legacy Mercer Management as GMC, and Legacy Mercer Oliver Wyman as FS). While the client facing company is one brand, internally the company operates as two firms.

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.
