Pros

Great people! Fairly stable if you're in the right department/work group or geography

Cons

Under market pay scale for large "coast" cities. Very Minneapolis-centric in terms of salary scale. Several Consultants think they are "gods gift" and very patronizing and other team members.Minneapolis based senior management team seems a little out of touch and insulated.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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