Pros

Remote Work and time off

Cons

4 years with most people getting no merit or cost of living increase. May give one person an increase, but then leaders are asked to lie and say there were no merits. Very unethical and has driven me to look elsewhere as I am not willing to follow suit. There is no communication around why, just ghosting the people after false promises that do the actual work. But they have enough money to sponsor golf tournaments and the Olympics. It's disgusting. Talks about pay transparency but IS NOT transparent. There are substantial pay gaps.

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

This is an RPO with many clients. It all depends on who you work with. I enjoy team. Very collaborative and supportive team and management.

Cons

Workload is insane. Bi-monthly pay.
