I applied online. I interviewed at Mercer in Feb 2020
Interview
The process was pretty straight forward. I submitted my resume. I did a virtual video interview and then someone reached out to me about pursuing my application and doing a final round, and then I never heard back.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Mercer (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2018
Interview
Had to complete an online video interview through an app . The app gave you about 1 minute to give answers and 15 seconds to prep for questions that you were going to be asked. I found it easier than sitting face to face with someone but also easy to mess up.
I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mercer in Feb 2013
Interview
The final round consisted of five interviews-- two case and three behavioral. They had a really quick turn around time. The case was pretty straight forward and was heavily compensation based, which was expected since their compensation practice is really big.
In terms of the behavioral questions, be prepared to give scenarios in which you dealt with problems, difficult people, and ones that show your "quantitative skills."
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They gave a quantitative math test, which consisted largely of 7th/8th grade algebra math problems that were tricky, but definitely manageable. The time limit was 20 minutes.
