Amazing work life balance
Claims Adjudicator I (Former Employee) - Norwood, MA - July 18, 2022
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedI worked when Mercer had physical offices. Very metrics focused company with great work life balance. Very understanding managers. Culture was very outdated.

Pros and cons
Operations Manager (Current Employee) - Urbandale, IA - July 14, 2022
Working for a global company has its advantages in resources, support, and innovation. With that, it also can take time for any traction on decisions. In addition, the commitment to continuous improvement can lean towards change for the sake of change.

Mercer insights
Areas for improvement
- Sense of belonging
- Overall satisfaction
- Support from manager
Decent place to work
Benefits Counselor (Former Employee) - Remote - July 11, 2022
Company provides good benefits but the compensation is low. Turnover is very high & it never felt like there was enough support from management. It’s easy to burnout in the call center.

Caveat Emptor
Team Leader/Supervisor (Former Employee) - Vernon Hills, IL - July 8, 2022
Working at Mercer was not the worst job I've ever had, but it ranked under positions I would never consider taking again. I experienced long hours, completely opaque business direction, baffling leadership decisions and general lack of coherent strategy while there. I would not consider working for Mercer again.

Standard large multinational corporation
Partner (Former Employee) - Various - May 3, 2022
Mercer is a business under pressure being involved in industries that are maturing and consolidating. Unfortunately, mature, cash cow businesses respond primarily to budgeting pressures. Finding growth is a challenge.
Pros
Historically very smart people
Cons
Focus on bottom line

Great experience
Consultant (Current Employee) - Atlanta, GA - August 9, 2021
Mercer is a great company with really smart people but the work/life balance is non existent. Mainly focused on billable hours but the resources available equip colleagues with knowledge.
Pros
Co workers, flexibility, resources to service customers
Cons
Work life balance, advancement for some that are not earned.

Temp job
Benefits Counselor (Former Employee) - Atlanta, GA - July 7, 2021
Mercer was a temp job during open enrollment. Very busy but the people was nice and the money was great. You can chose your schedule. If needed a day off, all you had to do it request it.
Pros
Good money
Cons
Short breaks

Actuarial Analyst Review
Actuarial Analyst (Former Employee) - Atlanta, GA - December 25, 2020
I enjoy my time working as an actuarial analyst. I feel like there are a lot of opportunities to learn and opportunities to grow. Work can be seasonal at the firm. Prior to COVID, actuarial analysts were given paid overtime during busy weeks. Associates don't get overtime, but they get a year end bonus.

Great people but terrible compensation and opportunity for advancement
Anonymous (Current Employee) - United States - August 21, 2019
I have worked with Mercer colleagues throughout the world, and have had good relationships with all of them. But raises are slim and they change the bonus formula every few years in a way that few people understand, apparently because management can’t get a handle on how to pay as little as possible while still giving an appearance of fairness.

Good people overall
DB Configuration Analyst (Former Employee) - Atlanta, GA - March 29, 2019
Enjoyed my team, but eventually the team fell apart from people leaving. Team was never restocked. Culture was good, and was able to work remotely. Would work there again.

Good opportunity
Piedmont Heart Physician Assistant Residency (Former Employee) - Atlanta, GA - February 22, 2019
Good opportunity but the group was distracted and did not work to create as great of an experience as it could be. It was unplanned, disjointed. It required me doing a lot of the work and pestering people to give me a clue of what was going on.

Mixed review here. One division was very cooperative and produced great results. The other group was knowledge management, could not produce requirements only complaints

Sr. Executive Assistant (Current Employee) - Atlanta, GA - February 2, 2018
this is not your business. I do not wish to participate, I just want to post my resume, stop giving me an error for something you have no business asking for in the first place. does this meet the requirement.

Mercer Marketplace
Analyst (Current Employee) - Atlanta, GA - June 21, 2016
The work operates around an annual cycle so an employee gets a good sense of what needs to be done/is expected after one year. Working here has helped me accumulate a vast amount of knowledge within the healthcare realm. Because you work remotely for clients around the country with teams around the country, it is not rare to never meet your teammates in person. While this job is consulting, you are not often presented the opportunity to meet face to face with the client. Most calls and meetings will be handled via teleconferences. Since this practice is still rather new, the training is not very organized and is not always very helpful. There is also not much guidance when initially starting in this role. Many colleagues and I found this to be a huge issue.
