Employee - Associate/Consultant

Pluses: Good clients. Global brand. Great place to work and access to latest research trends. Respect and trusted by clients. Negatives: Lack of diversity in hiring, I was not impressed with management. Most of them were leaders and not managers.

Employee - Associate/Consultant

People management is critical and requires sustained effort and skill.

Employee - Associate/Consultant

Excellent reputation

Employee - Principal/VP/Director

It was/is a good place to work for a period of time as it adds to your resume. It would recommend it for that reason only. It should be notes that the work environment varies greatly from office to office. Some were great.

Employee - Principal/VP/Director

Constantly changing, at least those at the vary top. The partners never leave and that is a problem.

Employee - Principal/VP/Director

The annual billing/hours requirement is tied to your base salary x 3.5. As such you are carrying a great deal of dead weight. It is an inverted pyramid of sorts.

Employee - Principal/VP/Director

Not to be negative but beyond salary and bonus nothing was offered. This became particularly stark after the economic downturn.

Employee - Principal/VP/Director

Each Principal was his/her own business. You hang out your shingle and look for clients. Rather like a franchise. A senior actuary there once told me that they would hire Jerry Dahmer if he could bill. They would just say he had a slight eating disorder.

Employee - Principal/VP/Director

Good from the outside looking in. There are many ex-Mercer people in other consulting companies around Atlanta. That does not help their cause. The Atlanta office was poorly run and I don't believe it is an accurate reflection of Mercer as a whole.

Sign on bonus. Offer hourly overtime pay for any work done over 40 hours per week at analyst level. Have not been here a year yet, so no input on year end bonus.

Employee - Associate/Consultant

They pay well under market but still work similar hours to other consulting firms.

Employee - Associate/Consultant

Extremely knowledgeable but exclusive

Employee - Associate/Consultant

They pay 20-30% under market at the junior level.

Employee - Associate/Consultant

friendly, collaborative
