Pros
If you work at it, you can do a good job and grow professionally. Good intellectual capacity within Mercer, a lot of support, e.g. national teams of experts disseminate knowledge to employers. Firm is absolutely committed to quality client work.
Cons
Lately, firm has been run - at the senior levels - by accountants or accountant-like people, who focus on the short-term bottom line. Raises and promotions have been hard to come by, and long-service employees have been let go in cost-savings measures. (Some of these people have then gotten big raises in getting hired by other firms.)
