Pros

Excellent training ground, work with the best companies as CLients. great exposure to the market

Cons

Management turns a blind eye to everything but the performance. Lots of lip service but little else. No HR support of any kind. No career path/advise given, no development programs for its employees [bar the partners]. No career advancement for its employees. Need to be connected/allied with the right people who will speak up for you - in order to be recognized or even credited.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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.
