Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone has worked for
Mercer in the Chicago office in a non-consultant/client facing role and can share your experience (whether you liked it, if it was a good work environment, etc). I’m interviewing for a role in their Tech and Financial industry vertical right now. Mercer

Agree with other comments. While not out of the Chicago office, the company culture doesn’t seem great overall. Think this will be the same for client and non client facing. They don’t make you feel valued, especially for juniors, and high burnout is prevalent. No mentorship or growth experiences, has no inclusive or diverse culture, and it’s nonstop work for little pay and recognition. Not a place where people and leaders can grow.

I can also attest to C1. Worked in their Chicago office and it wasn’t the best work experience. Actuaries are heavily favored and given faster career development. Basically no diversity. In my almost 3 years there I got barely a 1.5% raise. Ended up moving to a Big 4 and got a 50% bump in pay. So yeah I’d probably look elsewhere if I was OP..
