I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mercer (Irvine, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
Technical interview, just looking through a presentation and finding errors followed by 3 one on one interviews. Not a very difficult interview but tiresome. Seemed like they were nice people though, but of course they seemed to want someone who was in it for the long run.
Had one 30 minute phone interview asking basic behavioral questions. There were no technical questions asked and there was no case style interview for the first round interview. Overall, they seemed most interested in your interest in the company and industry and how your relevant experience made you a qualified candidate.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
