Business outlook
Pros
Excellent co-workers. Good work tools. Good benefits package (but being whittled away. Good flexibility. Excellent training for junior people. A good place to start a career in HR management.
Cons
Leadership is unpredictable and very inwardly focused. Local management has little authority -- they are told what to do and do it whether they support the action or not. Employee programs are mostly window-dressing --- the real culture is to squeeze as much work out of employees as possible. Mercer employees are shoemaker's children. HR practices are opprossive and The HR Function is a joke.
