      Horrible work life balance - Anonymous employee Korn Ferry Employee Review

      Pros

      Decent vacation, ok benefits. Parental leave is solid. Mostly good coworkers.

      Cons

      KF notoriously works employees to the bone, ignoring long term employee health and satisfaction to put employees through the ringer. Expect to work long hours with very little acknowledgement, and have that be a very frequent issue. Everything is understaffed and then management wonders why everyone is working late and why there's a morale problem, dragging feet on hiring help. If you aren't a fan of working late into the night with no end in sight I'd avoid KF.

      Pros

      I am a consultant through a firm acquired by Korn Ferry and have had a great experience with both the firm (Salo) and with Korn Ferry as a parent company. Great to have benefits and PTO as a consultant and great training and resources available - good communication as well!

      Cons

      Transitional period during acquisition had a few bumps but nothing major and all ironed out as more time has gone on.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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