Pros

Week off at Christmas, decent insurance

Cons

The list is very long. This company expects you to work long grueling hours and does not reward their employees, especially the revenue generating teams. Bonus are abysmal and the exec leader team lies every year about why bonuses are not paid out at plan. Then they say that "next year will be better" and guess what? It NEVER is, just a different excuse Raises are pathetic, big surprise considering the lack of bonuses each year for the past 10 years. Way too top heavy on senior leadership, who is receiving all of the rewards from the bondage of others. Projects are never staffed properly. Again, let's save money for the executives and work the team at the client site to the bone.

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.
