Pros

Base pay is decent There are a few good people in the company who have real morals and values but are always in fear of their job.

Cons

No job security unless you’re a brown nosing puppet. It doesn’t matter how good you are at your job, if you speak up, you’ll get shunned and laid off on the next round.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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