Pros

(Some) really great people. Approach to flexible working.

Cons

Below benchmark pay Zero career progression Leaders who have mastered none of the leadership skills or styles preached to clients On-boarding and training - non existent Everyone is just a disposable number and chasing the money is all that is cared about Unrealistic strategy created by leaders who listen to no one on the ground but they get blamed when it all fails.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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