Pros

Good people to work with. Teammates are friendly and helpful for the most part.

Cons

No career growth. They talk about growing people but they don't do it. Senior Leadership have too much on their plate and they can't seem to get back to anyone in the field. When they do get back to you, it's weeks later and the problem you were deal with has already come and gone.

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.

Pros

Work from home gives flexibility, time off is good.

Cons

No raises ever, bonuses are not a motivator nor an indicator of the work you do. No one seems to know why you receive the bonus you do, it is just from a spreadsheet handed to your direct manager who apparently has no influence in the decision. Raises never happen and no one can answer if they are coming or not—you just never get one.
