Pros

Working with talented recruiting teams; interesting recruiting searches/projects; flexibility with schedule; worked from home.

Cons

Became more and more metrics oriented (rather than focus on best ways to reach objectives/placements). Had a manager that was critical to the point of ridiculing; was not constructive.

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.
