Pros

Some of the key standouts from my time here so far: - Career opportunities are unlike any other player in Talent Management as we are growing and always evolving. I've seen people progress to support other clients and industries, and also internally within Futurestep, Korn Ferry and Hay Group both locally and globally. I've not encountered this anywhere else in my career. - The culture is very friendly with great people and supports flexible working, encourages innovation and recognition is received for a job well done. - Wish I'd joined much earlier in my career!!

Cons

Knowledge management and collaboration could be improved across the firm.

Pros

I am a consultant through a firm acquired by Korn Ferry and have had a great experience with both the firm (Salo) and with Korn Ferry as a parent company. Great to have benefits and PTO as a consultant and great training and resources available - good communication as well!

Cons

Transitional period during acquisition had a few bumps but nothing major and all ironed out as more time has gone on.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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