      Was great - now on the decline

      Senior client partner

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      + Some good IP and some great people. Those not in the political game are typically skilled, knowledgeable, helpful and supportive.

      Cons

      - Broken culture that has been systematically constructed by a management by numbers philosophy. - Too many 'rainmakers' being hired and not enough people with real expertise - Itchy trigger finger. Leadership prioritizes being cash rich, so that further acquisitions can be made, when it might consider supporting loyal and high performing employees - Dishonest, manipulative, and disingenuous management in the Middle East

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      (Some) really great people. Approach to flexible working.

      Cons

      Below benchmark pay Zero career progression Leaders who have mastered none of the leadership skills or styles preached to clients On-boarding and training - non existent Everyone is just a disposable number and chasing the money is all that is cared about Unrealistic strategy created by leaders who listen to no one on the ground but they get blamed when it all fails.

      Experts at extracting value

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some great people and IP.

      Cons

      KF leaders in the US have taken an international firm and made it a national US business with a terrible culture. Creativity is suppressed. Overbearing central control and a short-term financial focus put intolerable pressure on staff at all levels. It is very sad.
