Pros

Vacation time is great, medical/dental/vision benefits are pretty good, ability to work from home when necessary, and expense account for rare occassions.

Cons

Marsh does not value young talent nor diversity. There are no diversity initiatives, little to know mentorship by senior level management. This is a company that runs on "who you know" and "familial ties". It's hard to get ahead based on the merit of your work. There is little to no incentive to continue to do a "great job". I would not suggest Marsh as a place to work; especially for entry level people.

Pros

Flexible hours, good coworkers in the trench.

Cons

Lot of people with feeling of entitlement for now particular good reason. Poor selection of managers based on broking ability instead of management ability.

Low morale, Layoffs, and a Sad Decline

Pros

Very talented, dedicated people. Good salary and benefits. Attractive building. Pleasant office space. Nice views from Hoboken. Some prestige--name recognition around the world (at least in the insurance industry).

Cons

Lots of layoffs in IT. Low morale. Everyone worried that the axe will fall on them. Tendency to leave people stuck in same position for years--you have to really be assertive to avoid getting stuck. Frequent leadership changes with corresponding changes in culture/direction. Feeling that employees are taken for granted. Management does not seem to care at all about losing good people. In fact, they've been actively trying to get rid of people to reduce payroll. There seems to be a perception around the firm that IT doesn't really help to maximize profit--it provides too little bang for the buck.
