Pros

Strong Korn/Ferry DNA - potentially a powerhouse in the Talent Management world.

Cons

If Futurestep could focus on delivery of services with as much intensity and focus as they focus on sales, they would rock! Too many deals signed without truly figuring out how to deliver. Company is beholden to the K/F partners who do not understand RPO at all.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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