This is the sixth consecutive year that Kurt Salmon Associates has made our Best Firms to Work For list. This year's appearance, however, has to rank as the most impressive. The reason? In October 2007, KSA was acquired by the London-based Management Consulting Group. With all the chaos and confusion that often accompanies an acquisition in the consulting industry, the fact that KSA has managed to keep morale high, the firm together and the staff focused on the tasks at hand is commendable.
"People go into these mergers expecting it to all go wrong," says Mark Wietecha, chairman of Kurt Salmon Associates. "The fact that we're sitting here as KSA almost a year after the acquisition without lots of turmoil or lots of staff departures is rewarding. Mergers have an opportunity to work if you can keep the core culture and core leadership in place."
