      Pros

      You can move around throughout the company as there are a variety of branches, 100 remote work, and they have the money to pay well (which helps to know re: new-hire negotiations, et.).

      Cons

      I’ve only experienced toxic management… they simply can’t accept that’s things are fine and going well… they live for the drama. If work is going fine… hold on… they’re coming for your household, family, personal life. It’s demotivating and makes me wonder if I should be making mistakes at work to keep them occupied. I’ve experienced several managers and one was even combative with our clients. When I don’t hear from “our leaders”… everything is great. I HATE their involvement otherwise.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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