      Pros

      Great pay & Work From Home

      Cons

      KF publishes great content that they do not practice. Last years RIF's cut the people doing the work and not enough management. Way too many management levels even when work loads & team sizes shrink. Micro managing is allowed. Anyone above your team lead is unknown until there's a problem - then they call a meeting and scold you like children. They don't ask questions or trust that the team may not be the problem nor do they try to find out where the problem is. Many more issues than listed here and they can't figure out why accounts are in the red.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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