Pros

As a division of Korn Ferry, PDI Ninth House now has every thing a client could ask for... Talented consultants, C-Level perspective, a complete set of assessment and development offerings, emerging technology platform, and a truly global presence.

Cons

The President is hapless. He is destructive to client engagements and demotivating to employees. He must manage up well, take credit for his team's success, and suck up to the KornFerry CEO for job security. His lack of business acumen and authentic leadership skills are openly discussed among the rank and file.

Pros

The client diversity across industries and regions is top notch. Great brand recognition. The marketing investments in Korn Ferry Tour and LA28 paid off. Smart people. Remote work is a plus as 75% people work remotely. No push for facetime in offices. Work from anywhere! Everyone knows of Korn Ferry!

Cons

A culture of long hours and interrupted vacations. Clear demarcation between haves(fee earners) and have nots (execution). High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient. Low pay as there are no merits due to market/company performance. Hard to get food at the holiday party so stop at Five Guys prior.
