      Pros

      Mercer provides a strong support network for professional development and career advancement. The people are wonderful to work with and the firm has a very entreprenuerial feel. This is a great place to be to become a benefits specialist. As a leader in the HR consulting arena, the Mercer name opens many doors and gives tremendous credibility to your expertise.

      Cons

      The firm is large and segmented. Trying to work across businesses can be difficult which limits the availability of broad experiences. The practices are all very different.

      They could use a few more Trailblazers

      Pros

      There are few boudaries at Mercer as far as career development at least in IPS. There is a lot of great talent at Mercer.

      Cons

      This firm has a real problem with innovation. They need a few more trailblazers. Many managers are afraid to be the ones that rock the boat and lead change. Be cafeful on the manager that you come in under. Some managers are just trying to lay low and people under them never get anywhere. Don't let them lead you to believe that a Senior Associate has any authority. You don't really earn respect unless you make Principal so if you have 10 years or more experience, negotiate a Principal grade upon hire because depending on the manager, it may take you years to reach Principal status. And there are lots of Principals...many of which don't deserve the title so don't let them act like Principal is a big deal. There are sales people that are hired in as Principals.

      Experience--The consultans are very smart and have and if you can get them to share, you can learn a lot.

      Cons

      joining the firm from another industry, it is very difficult to learn from the bottom up.
