      After working here for 10 years you become jaded with the organization because we've seen 6 CEOs in those 10 years. - Principal Mercer Employee Review

      Pros

      Good work life balance. Current CEO seems to be doing a good job (stock price is going up) and I think probably he's the best CEO we've had in a while. Keep it up.

      Cons

      Ironically, we're in the HR conulting business, but yet we can't solve our own HR issues such as career development, retention, leadership. With each new CEO they bring change and it's interesting to see the new executive team rearranging the patio furniture without much impact. I work in an emerging market and it's amazing how incompetent the senior leaders (expats) are in my market - no leadership, no accountablity, no engagement, no empowerment, poor communication - more than half the employees are zombied out. Shame on you ...and you know who you are!!!!

      Pros

      paid well, honored sick leave and FMLA, reasonable benefits,

      Cons

      They don't actually pay bonuses, or at least not to new hires who fall through the cracks of team and project assignments - and they'll claim it's that person's fault with no way to change what's happening around them. Management supports discriminatory and bullying behavior regarding who gets billable work, who attends meetings and on-sites, etc. Mostly, men go and only younger or non-technical women. They had men present women's work as their own. If you protest too much, you're on the radar for life and anything you say can be misconstrued. You'll be told to not criticize or disparage coworkers, even though they all criticize you constantly.
