Mercer Senior Associate reviews

compensation transparency is lacking. salary increases accompanying internal promotion are dismal.

Leadership is very top-heavy and out of touch. Smaller clients are an afterthought and are better going elsewhere since they're probably not sexy or profitable enough. One has to track their time as a law firm (a NYC law firm), regardless of the revenue arrangement. Constant reinventing, re-branding, rehashing, re-something. Don't expect senior management to guide, train, or want to get involved. They are above that. Sink or swim until you sink. If you made rush in college, you'll fit in better than most. If you were GDI, good luck. Fit the mold or be gone. We want to listen to our clients, but let's deliver a 100 page presentation to talk about ourselves. If we don't, we'll get poor performance reviews.
