      Pros

      Remote work - that’s about it

      Cons

      Unrealistic KPIs - making it harder to bonus (you never know what you’re truly getting). Severance package was a joke - shows how much their care about you Even when your billing and have clients/deals happening they lay off some of their best employees to pocket the money HR team has no personality and really has no idea what’s going on. Not able to answer questions during layoff and provide insight. Offers “career counseling” LOL, that’s funny. Honestly I have nothing good to say about them. Just know, you’re a number and not a person. They don’t care about you, only about lining their pockets.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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