Haven’t heard great things about Mercer either

like

How would you rank them compared to competitors (Aon/Radford/McGlagan, Korn Ferry Hay, etc.)?

like

I believe WTW/Mercer/Deloitte are on-par (although Mercer/Deloitte people may disagree), only due to our breadth and depth of compensation consulting capabilities. I feel like Korn Ferry, boutiques, and other Big 4 are not too far behind, but mostly because WTW/Mercer pretty much focus on this space.

Aon/Radford is interesting. I see Radford more for data usages, I’m actually not familiar with their consulting arm. In terms of data, Radford/Aon lead the way with tech and life sciences data, WTW/Mercer relatively the same in terms of our data quality.

As a side note, I recommend to try compensation consulting but it’s definitely niche and less people focused…

Yeah I hear you. Certainly niche. I’ve seen tons of consulting openings. I’ve thought about going into it to broaden my HR experience. Any idea where it could lead? Looking to maybe go in house one day. Could help with becoming an HRBP or something.
