Where do I begin... they have annual layoffs despite being up nearly 3-7% year over year. Nearly everyone I knew never got a merit increase and bonuses are often slashed or reduced. Almost everyone below mid level is paid well below market, so attrition and retention is an issue constantly. Partners and managers are often egotistical slave drivers that cuss at you or make you feel worthless if you make a mistake of any kind. Training is non existent and the culture is one where you must work yourself to death or step over the dead bodies of your own teammates to get ahead.
The sickening part - MERCER IS AN HR CONSULTING FIRM!! For the love of humanity, you consult on issues like this but can’t solve them for your own company?!? Drink your own koolaid! It’s ridiculous that you have 60% turnover at the mid level and below. Mercer is a global authority in compensation data... it’s not like they don’t know what to pay people! They are experts in employee engagement and culture but the morale is awful... and not just in one office... every major office!
