Pros

Nothing comes as Pros. Even their HR team will cheat you. They can't even protect your privacy. Don't fall for the list of their Clientele. No Matter if you are working for G**gle your life will become hell because of the Indian management.

Cons

Nothing is there that makes them a good employer. Every person from senior management is very mean. They always try to protect their collars. No work life balance. Nobody will help you in your work. You are on your own. No salary hikes or promotions. You will get to hear a few words that shouldn't come from the mouth of a senior person.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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