Pros

Provides relevant HR industry guidance and services to external clients

Cons

Extremely poor internal HR practices (especially for an HR consulting company) - support staff that are placed under operations teams but are considered "disposable" by operational managers; no career path opportunities for non-primary functional staff; no internal opportunity discussion facilitation by operational management for support staff when business staffing adjustments are anticipated; no-notice termination for staff termed due to no fault of their own - e.g. RIF

Pros

The client diversity across industries and regions is top notch. Great brand recognition. The marketing investments in Korn Ferry Tour and LA28 paid off. Smart people. Remote work is a plus as 75% people work remotely. No push for facetime in offices. Work from anywhere! Everyone knows of Korn Ferry!

Cons

A culture of long hours and interrupted vacations. Clear demarcation between haves(fee earners) and have nots (execution). High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient. Low pay as there are no merits due to market/company performance. Hard to get food at the holiday party so stop at Five Guys prior.
