Pluspunten

Decent brand reputation in HR consulting space although not a household known name; a lot of intelligent young people recruited from top schools

Minpunten

Lots of leadership changes - CEO (BTW, please update CEO's name if Mercer HR is reading this), CFO, regional presidents, GBS leaders all within last 18 months. The EL team is like a revolving door. Be advised that they laid off a huge number of partner level employees a few months ago. Company is selling profitable businesses to get much needed cash. This is a very political place, especially at very senior level. people back stabbing each other all the time. very outdated technology, with many failed innovation attempts. POC never moved to pilot stages because there is no robust development capabilities; overall culture is toxic with many people just pretend to be busy.

Mercer colleague, Thank you for the feedback. We are disappointed to hear about the experience you had while at Mercer. The pace of change is faster than ever before so, like in many other companies, we strive to provide both stability for all of our colleagues while adapting to an environment that is ever-evolving, innovative and focused on the future of work. All of that involves a lot of changes and we understand how efficiency changes over the years can be challenging. We take a great deal of pride in our culture, values, leadership and the career opportunities available to all of our colleagues If you are willing to provide more insight into your experience, feel free to contact us at ColleagueFeedback@Mercer.com.

Pluspunten

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Minpunten

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
