Pros

client projects, diversity, some brand awareness

Cons

In the past 18 months I've watched 3000 people be terminated while the company closes 2 fiscals each with record high revenues and profits, all while tweeting out messages of empathy and people being your greatest asset. Also the company internally models exactly 0 of what it promotes to clients: job opportunities are never posted, salary ranges are a secret, performance reviews do not exist, management is abusive to staff, actual hourly rates to clients are hidden, and everyone is measured only on financial results (nothing on client satisfaction). Total house of cards.

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.
