Pros

Good opportunities for international staffing assignments, pay is on par with top consulting firms )(at least below senior manager/partner levels), people are generally quite friendly

Cons

Unpredictable travel and work demands can make planning your life pretty challenging. The merger of OW and Mercer Management was a failure generally speaking.
