Pros

It is a part of the KornFerry network. It has one global database and shares information on client development between regions.

Cons

One would think that because Futurestep is part of KornFerry that it would be a class act, think again. Under the leadership in Asia, Futurestep inhales and exhales employees as easily as breathing, and with less thought. at least twice in the past 10 years the company has built out into Asia, then collapsed back again, closing offices and axing over half the workforce at the first sign of a change in the wind.

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.
