Pros

With the acquisition, the pros were that there was hope of the company continuing since poor performance seemed to be common at PDI.

Cons

Typical acquisition situation I would guess. There were a lot of layoffs of PDI people and PDI legacy treated like the acquired and so less important. KF didn't seem to be interested in learning from expertise of PDI.

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.
