Pros

Mercer is nice place to start a career, it has the brand name and has some very smart people people working there.

Cons

The process for performance ratings and compensation increases are very subjective. The typical day to day work is not very mathematical which does not lend itself to developing actuarial skills. Let analysts focus more on the mathematical side of things rather than on documenting the processes

Cons

Depending on the department, it can be difficult to grow once you get to a certain stage Senior management are not aware of the nitty gritty Too much procedural steps People are very afraid to step on others toes which can result in burying too many things under the carpet and not dealing with issues effectively.
