      -Respect in the Industry -Compensation when you become a Client Partner or Sr. Client Partner -Interaction with Top Execs across the world -You have a huge impact on the life of the candidates

      Cons

      -Cliqueish -If you are not patronized by a strong Sr. Client Partner you career could go nowhere -Little opps outside of the search world -The industry is very Cyclical, when times are good everyone is make ALOT of money, when times are bad they are cutting their staff into the bone -Every SCP and CP has their own way of executing a search, there is little formalization of process in the org

      Pros

      Great industry and it is nice to be at the top of the industry - excellent brand equity. There are a lot of talented, very entrepreneurial people here and I can learn a lot from my colleagues.

      Cons

      Not enough professional development. I would have expected this piece to be more developed considering the acquisitons that deal with this area.

      Futurestep is NOT working for Korn/Ferry...

      Pros

      Association with the Korn/Ferry name and benefits and also that it does lots of RPO work so experience in that type of retained search is good to have on the resume. It's client base is very broad so your experience, if a generalist, can be rich. If sales are going well in a particuloar verticalyou are in (recruitng healthcare for instance) then you are going to have a good experience. OTherwsie your job is at risk. Recently(2006) Dallas opened nice office facilities - previous to that they were in a dump. Name generation resources are very good and training has been stepped up.

      Cons

      Instability of the type of industry they are in. Top management is not visionary and of course as an agency it cuts costs all the time. Evaluation process was not in place very well and came only once a year. There was no real effort to develop communities so that people could help one another. On-boarding new employees was a trial by error process. They do not always hire the best people so you can get stuck working for some real losers. Turnover is real high - yet I stayed almost three years. 'Finally left for a more promising job.
