Simon-Kucher and Mercer in the US?

Hi - could anyone shed light on both of these firms (especially SKP because there is so little info on here). I'm in the process for both and I want to be better informed. Just wanted to know about:

- reputation/culture: I know SKP is more well-established in EU but in the US I'm not so sure

- work (specializations, scope, etc.) and salary (summer and full time)

- visa sponsorship (especially for Mercer because I've seen mixed things)

- exit/switching opps

Would really appreciate any information. Cheers x
