Pros

Over the course of 6+ years, it was an amazing feat with all the clients I have worked with. Managers are highly skilled, amazing and supportive + healthy working environment to the point that it's too good to be true.

Cons

- Low pay rate - No salary increase or incentives - They will easily let their senior employees resign rather than improving their pay and or giving increase just to retain them. - Stagnation, no room for growth - No Christmas Baskets or Bonuses

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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