Pros

- Colleagues in the consulting practice are amazing. - The office is centrally located in DT Calgary. - They occasionally buy you coffee. - Despite the long list of cons, there are some people that were great.

Cons

Local management has scared away loads of amazing talent over the last several years. Opportunities for advancement are low, the stress is high, local management is cheap and the behavior in the office can be very unprofessional. They have perfected the art of micromanagement and you can expect minimal praise or accolades for a job well done. Management has an overinflated notion of self importance and possess minimal respect for their colleagues or for others in general.

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.
