Pros

It is a part of the KornFerry network. It has one global database and shares information on client development between regions.

Cons

One would think that because Futurestep is part of KornFerry that it would be a class act, think again. Under the leadership in Asia, Futurestep inhales and exhales employees as easily as breathing, and with less thought. at least twice in the past 10 years the company has built out into Asia, then collapsed back again, closing offices and axing over half the workforce at the first sign of a change in the wind.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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