Pros

Generally very intelligent and motivated colleagues. Cultures vary greatly from office to office, some great, some not.

Cons

Can be a challenging place to navigate, institutional knowledge is often found in 1 person and not well documented. Not a lot of growth opportunities for entry level positions - need to do better at recruiting younger talent and providing career paths.

Pros

I am a consultant through a firm acquired by Korn Ferry and have had a great experience with both the firm (Salo) and with Korn Ferry as a parent company. Great to have benefits and PTO as a consultant and great training and resources available - good communication as well!

Cons

Transitional period during acquisition had a few bumps but nothing major and all ironed out as more time has gone on.
