I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mercer in Mar 2010
Interview
The phone interview was grueling. It was about 45min and consecutive "Tell me about a time" questions. You can expect the typical "Greatest strength and weakness" question. I go in for 2nd round interviews in a couple weeks and it is supposed to last the entire day where I will interview with several analysts and associates.
