Pros

A lot of work stress Managers aren't supportive.

Cons

Not worth to join RPO model is complete hell People in RPO model are suffering with heavy work loads and ignorance of management. No salary hikes, no promotion, no job security. The senior leadership behaves like a slave and they expect their employees to be a slave.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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