      Good career starter, but not much growth past the first couple years.

      Pros

      As a new incoming analyst you will learn a lot about the employer-sponsored health plan space very quickly. You will be involved in every aspect of the client's benefit plans, from strategy to implementation.

      Cons

      While you initially learn a lot very quickly, after some time it becomes clear that much of the work that you will do is surface level, and it is very hard to find a niche or become an expert on anything at Mercer. This is mainly due to the sheer number of different projects and deadlines that you will be dealing with on a weekly basis. In the end it feels like most people at the company settle into a "jack of all trades, master of none" type role, where you repeat the same projects for the same clients every year.

      Pros

      I have none with mentioning.

      Cons

      Not worth the stress. Leadership structure is constantly quitting. Clients are leaving due to the incompetence. If your considering this company to manage your employee benefits program, it’s not worth the price. The company is selling different business units off.

      Old school company in need of change

      Pros

      fair pay and decent benefits

      Cons

      Old school company with very dysfunctional senior management team. Got rid of many experienced, talented and tenured colleagues to meet numbers, but no plans to replace bodies or knowledge lost. Key positions are left vacant for over 6 months. Folks like us on the ground are left to suffer the consequence. The good ones (myself included) are bolting with the first opportunity.
