Pros

Company provides good work/life balance and considers your thoughts on change and growth opportunities. Direct supervisor is greatly knowledgeable of the market trends which assists her team in providing a high level of service.

Cons

In short, more structure is needed in order to keep up with the growth and direction of certain segments of the business. At some point, one has to wonder is quick growth is better than sustainable growth...

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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