Pros

The people are great. Good reputation in market. Fantastic client base.

Cons

Silo mentality means that different parts of the business do not all pull together for the common good. US ownership means that decisions are taken that may not be best in UK context. Can take a long time for changes to take place. Technology often not up to speed.

Pros

The best thing about working at Mercer was the work life balance - people weren't chained to their desk until really late. The team in which I worked had really good social events and we worked well together as a result. The London Mercer office building is a really good place to be based

Cons

The worst thing about Mercer is the slow decision making, it would take months to get things done. It was also quite difficult to progress quickly up the career ladder and the promotion process was not very transparent. Another issue was the lack of communication from senior management.
