Pros

Great camaraderie within the office you work. Variety of work is motivating and can allow for long-term opportunities.

Cons

In the broader organization, you can feel as if you are only a number. The company continues to grow bigger and bigger, but doesn't necessarily ensure that the employees continue to function as a well-oiled machine. Bureaucracy is apparent on a daily basis and can make your job difficult. The company doesn't always practice what it preaches, and for a global HR firm, that's a strong assessment for how things operate internally.

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

Work from home gives flexibility, time off is good.

Cons

No raises ever, bonuses are not a motivator nor an indicator of the work you do. No one seems to know why you receive the bonus you do, it is just from a spreadsheet handed to your direct manager who apparently has no influence in the decision. Raises never happen and no one can answer if they are coming or not—you just never get one.
