      At client site: negative/punitive atmosphere, lack of professionalism, no collaboration with on-site client

      Pros

      Direct deposit - yes it's that bad, no pro's

      Cons

      Lack of leadership at Client site, no teamwork, no upward mobility, recruiting leads are punitive at best, manage by backstabbing and holding recruiters accountable for metrics using outdated system; expected much more from a KornFerry product.

      Pros

      Great company, very professional, got to work with outstanding colleagues and clients across a large global organization. They set the bar very high, but the training and orientation I received as a new employee was absolutely top drawer. Seem to truly value effective and productive people. World class all the way.

      Cons

      Outdated legacy IT systems that really slowed things down. Focus on individual engagement sales inhibited offering more strategic services to clients that could embed K/F within a client's organization over a much longer period of time. Perhaps both of these "cons" have changed by now. Some passive-aggressive power dynamics in the office where I worked, but I imagine each office has it's own individual culture to some extent.

      Pros

      Great brand, great people, satisfying work. A differentiated platform that integrates excellent assessment tools in the search process.

      Cons

      Bean counters run the firm without taking a long term view about how to retain the most talented people.
