Business outlook
Pros
-A lot of growth provides new opportunities for acquired companies (PDI Ninth House and Global Novations) -Korn/Ferry recognized slowdown with executive search and acquired solid companies to diversify portfolio and main competitive advantage -Great new IP (if they can figure out how to use it competitively)
Cons
-Currently experiencing a lot of growing pains with many acquisitions as well as the sheer volume of new employees (1 in 5 is new in 2013). -Culture works well if you are a consulting type who enjoys an individual approach vs. team approach as its a 'eat what you kill' environment. Depending on the region, some are more cut-throat and some more collaborative.
