Pros

Korn Ferry is an excellent training ground for anyone starting in recruitment. The processes are structured, the tools are solid, and you quickly develop a strong consulting mindset. A great foundation for a career in talent acquisition or executive search.

Cons

A top-down structure driven from the U.S. that doesn’t always adapt well to local markets or team realities.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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