I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Mercer (London, England) in Sep 2024
Interview
I had a great experience with the interview process. It was professional, well-structured, and transparent from start to finish. The recruiter was communicative and set clear expectations early on. Each interview round was purposeful, and the questions were relevant to the role. The interviewers were friendly, respectful, and genuinely interested in my experience and goals. I appreciated the prompt follow-up after each stage and the constructive feedback I received. Overall, the process made me feel valued and excited about the opportunity to work with the company.
Invited me for multiple rounds and had me interact with their resources at early hours too. No feedback or response post final round, really unprofessional. Do not attend their interviews unless you have things captured on an email.
