Pros

The best thing about working at Mercer was the work life balance - people weren't chained to their desk until really late. The team in which I worked had really good social events and we worked well together as a result. The London Mercer office building is a really good place to be based

Cons

The worst thing about Mercer is the slow decision making, it would take months to get things done. It was also quite difficult to progress quickly up the career ladder and the promotion process was not very transparent. Another issue was the lack of communication from senior management.
