Candidature
J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Mercer (Los Angeles, CA) en oct. 2014
Entretien
Was referred by current Analyst at Mercer. The first round was two 30-minute phone interviews, back to back. The first call asked me to briefly walk through my resume, then had a technical case based on a real project the interviewer had just finished. The case about compensation and retirement. The interviewer would ask probing questions about your reasoning and add more information to the problem. The second phone interview was more behavioral questions, how you were a leader or worked well in teams. It was soon after my phone interviews that I was invited to the LA office for a half day of interviews. The day comprised of a casual lunch, a fit interview, a leadership interview, a technical case, a strategy case, and a report walk-through. We were given a short bio of each interviewer and had breaks between interviews. Each interviewer was assigned one type of interview, and all the interviewees were rotated through them (everyone was assigned a different schedule). All interviews were 1:1. Was a fairly rigorous process, but overall friendly atmosphere.

Question 1
The hardest questions for me were the mental math questions during the fit interview. Be prepared to do long division and percentages of large numbers quickly.
Prerecorded video interview. Most prompts gave 30 seconds of prep for a two minute answer. One question focused on an approach to a given scenario about a company moving, prep time and answer time were longer for that.

First round was 2 30 min interviews: 1 case and 1 behavioral.
Final round was super day at the SF office. 5 30 min interviews with lunch in the middle: 1 strategy case, 1 technical case (case with numbers), 2 behavioral with principals, 1 report walk through.
Talent consulting team sort of combined SF, LA and Seattle offices together for the west coast recruiting process. So the associate who ran strategy case interview all visited three cities to case the intern candidates. LA has biggest office (hiring 7-8), SF mid (4) and Seattle smallest (2), so I recommend that you consider which office and their size will give higher possibility of getting you the position

Was sent a request to submit recorded answers to questions on a platform called Hirevue. Felt like not enough time was given to answer some of the questions. Questions were regarding previous experiences. Only one was related to a case.
