I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mercer (Montreal, QC)
Interview
The first step was a phone interview. Questions were mostly about fit (why Mercer, why consulting) and about elements of my CV.
Second interview was in person with 2 employees from the firm. I was asked to talk about myself, and then they read me different situations that could occur in the day-to-day and asked how I would react. This session was followed by a basic test on Excel.
Third interview was with a director and partner. Then when over my CV again and the goal was to make sure I understood the nature of the job.

Prerecorded video interview. Most prompts gave 30 seconds of prep for a two minute answer. One question focused on an approach to a given scenario about a company moving, prep time and answer time were longer for that.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Mercer (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
First round was 2 30 min interviews: 1 case and 1 behavioral.
Final round was super day at the SF office. 5 30 min interviews with lunch in the middle: 1 strategy case, 1 technical case (case with numbers), 2 behavioral with principals, 1 report walk through.
Talent consulting team sort of combined SF, LA and Seattle offices together for the west coast recruiting process. So the associate who ran strategy case interview all visited three cities to case the intern candidates. LA has biggest office (hiring 7-8), SF mid (4) and Seattle smallest (2), so I recommend that you consider which office and their size will give higher possibility of getting you the position
