      Increasingly complex and rigid but always meritocratic HR consulting firm - Principal Korn Ferry Employee Review

      Pros

      - Opportunities to transfer across locations and business lines for those who take the initiative - Competitive remuneration with a relatively strong emphasis on fixed pay

      Cons

      - Different business lines (particularly legacy Executive Search vs. legacy Hay Group) still feel siloed - As the company continues to diversify and broaden its offering, it becomes more and more rigid and erodes some of its original value - Very reactive to economic downturns - shareholders´ interests always above employees´ - Like most large consulting firms can be quite political

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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