      Pros

      Good information system, reasonable collaboration between piers, at least at the associate level.

      Cons

      Tremendous leverage placed upon associates. Professional disrespect, mind games, and abusive behavior is prevalent and commonplace. No upward mobility and just a lot of hard work at the bottom rungs of the ladder. Too much stress.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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