I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Mercer (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2016
Interview
I connected with a recruiter on LinkedIn and had a short video chat with her to learn more about the position. After that, she sent me a link to a first-round video interview (the type where you are asked a question then get two minutes to record your response). After that, I waited a while (at least three or four weeks) before I heard anything, and I was eventually invited to interview in person. The in person interview was long, but not too exhausting. There were four separate 30-minute interviews (two of the interviews were conducted by one person, and the other two interviews had multiple people). All the interviewers were courteous and relaxed and we had a lunch afterwards.

Question 1
I was expecting more questions about healthcare, but the vast majority of the questions were behavioral-based questions and questions about why I was interested in the position. I was interviewing for an internship though so it may be different for full-time.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Mercer in Aug 2021
Interview
I did one phone screening with HR. I did a phone call with a Sourcer. I did a video interview with a manager. I did four more separate interviews with the team, some with two people and some with one person. I waited two weeks for a response and heard nothing. The sourcer got back to me and wanted to me to meet with another THREE people. I declined as they obviously did not respect the applicants time in having me wait weeks for a response and spend significant time interviewing with multiple people. This would be meeting a total of 10 people over a two month period for an entry level role. Very bad interview process and experience!
