Business Outlook

Pros

People in the teams are great

Cons

Managers at SVP level, head of and above constantly display bullying, aggressive, unprofessional behaviours and it's constantly overlooked even when it's witnessed in meetings. Poor structure in place with lack of leadership experience. Absolute shambles and really demotivating place to work. Feels like you are screaming in the office and no-one is hearing you. Feel awful for the hard working lower level team members who are completely undervalued, under paid and over worked.

Large corporate environment, individual experience can vary significantly depending on manager, geography and department

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great work life balance and work flexibility in US. Hybrid office culture with many roles still fully remote. Official policy of 2-3 days in office not strictly enforced and depends on individual teams. Company explicitly encourages leaving early before long weekends. - Strong vacation and sick leave policy in US. 27 days PTO + 10 days sick. - Most coworkers are great, this industry does not attract certain toxic personality types. - Company does promote people frequently and create new roles for high achieving employees, at least in my department.

Cons

- Pay is not competitive, especially for some roles based in high cost of living areas. However, this is the trade-off for the pros noted above. - Fairly high turnover due to large corporate environment where some people may hit a ceiling more quickly than others. In my short time with the company, I have seen people leave for better pay elsewhere even right after being promoted at Marsh. - Expensive insurance, 401k matching only after 1 full year of service, which is not competitive.

Pros

- Many growth opportunities, my managers continuously presented me with new projects and discussions on what I am interested in doing. - Global company with very intelligent, wonderful people - The people are why I stayed for 8 years

Cons

- Didn't promote mobility as advertised. The company has offices all over the world but are particular on which jobs can be done where. - Slow to progress, and you must be ok with initiatives starting and stopping all the time.
