Pros

Mercer is one of the top human resource consulting companies in the world. Anywhere you want your career to go, Mercer can offer you a path. It is also a very progressive company, supporting and advancing many facets of diversity, including religious, gender, ethnic, LGBT, and military.

Cons

In recent years, Mercer has reduced the amount of raises and bonuses offered to employees at the lower levels. This has led to a pattern of hiring excellent employees, spending thousands training them, getting six to eighteen months of high quality work, only to see them leave after a year or two to take a position where they are making more money with less stress.

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
