How is mercer perceived?

I feel like I have a pretty decent shot at landing a summer gig over at Mercer Consulting.

I had pretty much really only heard of MBB until a few weeks ago when I saw that Mercer was also recruiting at my campus. I didn't make it to the summer programs for MBB so I was wondering if Mercer was a suitable alternative. Would it look better over a no-name local boutique investment bank as far as positioning me for a full time position with MBB in the fall?
