Pros

Advanced recruiting tools Remote - good work life balance

Cons

There are far too many issues to list. Expect to be overworked with no real support. The leadership on my account was by far the worst I’ve encountered in my 8-year career. If you’re comfortable with a “leader” who regularly belittles a team of 50, ignores morale, dismisses all feedback, and communicates in an aggressive tone, then this might be the place for you. There’s also no room for growth. One former colleague went four years without a single raise. There’s much more I could say, but I’ll keep it brief: avoid this company at all costs.

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

Opportunities to work with large, interesting global clients

Cons

Can feel like a small fish in a big pond with such a large company, hard to feel a sense of culture when working fully remote
