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

Location flexibility - due to lack of office space, the "hoteling" culture already prominent at many consulting firms is starting to take root

Cons

- No on-boarding - Very little employee training - Pays below market value for roles at similar firms - Very little/no diversity - Weak leadership
