Mercer Team Leader (Nontechnical) Reviews

Likes

- The company campus is fantastic. - The salary structure ensures a good in-hand - A substantial PF deduction helps in building strong savings

Dislikes

- Leadership is dominated by long tenured employees, (~70 percent of the workforce), making it nearly impossible for new employees to bring fresh ideas. - New hires rarely last more than 3 years- They are either pushed out or struggle to sustain in a culture that favors old guards. - Instead of fixing core management issues, leadership constantly reshuffles employees while keeping themselves untouched - Major decisions , including layoffs, happen behind close doors with little to no communication. - The organization reacts to problems instead of planning ahead, leading to instability and constant restructuring. - Employees are left in the dark about long-term strategies, making career planning uncertain. - Performance evaluations are inconsistent and politically influenced , hard work often goes unnoticed unless you are part of leadership's inner circle. - Promotions are rare and not on merit, leading to stagnation and high attrition. - The company discourages innovation, despite having an "portal"- most suggestions gets ignored and later rebranded as leadership's own. - Despite claiming to encourage teamwork, department operates in silos, making cross-functional work frustrating - Internal knowledge-sharing initiatives lacks depth and practical value, existing mostly for optics. - HR protects leadership rather than advocating employees, making it difficult to raise concerns. - Exit interviews mere formality, with no real attempt to address systemic issues - Rigid work policies, employees are forced to commute multiple times a week on different leadership locations. - New employees planning to join Organization should be clear on this trap before making any decision...Read More

After my personal experience I don't like anything

Dislikes

Too much internal politics. Every leader have their own puppets which are getting promoted every year without having any relevant skills. They will fire people in batches and give lousy reason like "your role is dissolved" and "your position is NOT relevant"

Likes

Prons: They provide exquisite work life balance, good appraisal, both side free cabs, health insurance. Cons: - Organizations are way to ahead on technologies and AI - Learning and development dept needs to improvise and cater more people

Dislikes

Company is great but the individual team's culture could vary depending on team Managers, excellent leave policies, festival celebrations and other events are amazing, free cab, free food, great work life balance until and unless your manager is really an ahol.

Dislikes

New people were hired instead promoting internal old talent, new people sometimes come through contacts or in the name of diversity hiring which may not be as competent enough to perform their roles well plus they try to change the old culture and could disturb the whole team with their negativity or bossy mindset, senior management or the HR doesn't really hear analyst level resources
