Pros

A reputation for success and industry leadership that attracts top talent. You will be working with some of the best in the field.

Cons

High turnover of top midlevel talent. It's not unusual for top talent to develop internally then seek advancement outside the org as many internal leadership opportunities are being camped on by consultants who have been sitting in the role for years.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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