Pros

Well established public company, business seems to be going well, nice compensation and nice benefits.

Cons

I worked on internal systems as a software developer for a little over a year. Some of the IT executives will feel threatened by and will seek to oppress talented people, out of fear for their positions. That insecurity creates an environment where decisions are made based on politics instead of what is good for the company, the products.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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