Pros

Great people on my team - the team lead made sure we had each others backs, no matter what.

Cons

While the higher ups say they value the blood, sweat, and tears you put into establishing an account and growing that account, they have no problems kicking you loose if the client wants to cut cost. Never think for a moment you are safe from layoffs either. No raises for 3 years, we were also told no promotions, bu later discovered several people on the account were promoted with less time and worse reviews.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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