Laughable leadership, terrible culture, total “boy’s club” (Chicago office) - Anonymous employee Korn Ferry Employee Review

They’re so concerned about billings that the service to clients and candidates is dependent on the overworked junior staff. Candidates are consistently “recycled” search after search and as a candidate, if you can’t do anything for KF, they won’t do anything for you. KF is notorious for never closing the loop with candidates and treating them like second class citizens. Internally, Korn Ferry does not invest in their own talent. Gone are the days of Korn Ferry being some amazing training ground. You have to go out and get offers at other firms to get them to think about giving you a raise.
