Negative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Korn Ferry full-time for more than a year
Pros
The only good thing is the brand name.. nothing more than that. Don't waste your time. If you are good st pleasing your manager then please join the company
Cons
No appraisals based on performance. You will be promoted only if you have some serious good terms with your manager..if that works no matter how bad you perform you will be promoted. Donot expect any kind of help from the top management as top management is the level which is most polluted. They care only for profits and employees are of no use to them. No transparency for employee feedback. Even if you are being portrayed...

Good work-life balance Good learning and interesting work if you are lucky to be aligned with a good partner ~ 80% percentile pay benchmark
Cons
The Search execution Talent, 90 % of them, are not even worth the salary that they earn. No investment in learning and development. Execution of assignment/ mandates and the quality of it varies hugely between partners. Some partners have little concern on putting the right leader at the right place with their clients. More focused on how best to milk their clients. Promotion and growth within the firm is totally...

Korn Ferry is in dire need to be it's own client first. Everything else should be considered secondary.
