Pros

Advanced recruiting tools Remote - good work life balance

Cons

There are far too many issues to list. Expect to be overworked with no real support. The leadership on my account was by far the worst I’ve encountered in my 8-year career. If you’re comfortable with a “leader” who regularly belittles a team of 50, ignores morale, dismisses all feedback, and communicates in an aggressive tone, then this might be the place for you. There’s also no room for growth. One former colleague went four years without a single raise. There’s much more I could say, but I’ll keep it brief: avoid this company at all costs.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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