Pros

Got to work with great people - teammates and direct managers are great, never experienced any backstabbing. Opportunity to work from home

Cons

Underpaid compared to the average market median. Workload for one person is overwhelming and just ridiculous for the most part. No clear path to career progression, no salary adjustment over years, no clear understanding of how the bonus system works, promotions work. Leadership is very secretive and it creates a very uneasy environment

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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