Korn Ferry reviews

Nothing massive comes to mind. Enjoyed it.

Promotions and growth often depend more on relationships (especially within Lebanese nationals) than on merit. KF Middle East is heavily dominated by Lebanese and Indian professionals, which can lead to insular team dynamics and favoritism Limited career development support and mentorship (They don't invest in your learning but rather expect you to deliver on day 1) Weak project management structure leads to confusion and workload issues (You work multiple projects at the same time) Locals and non-French speakers often overlooked for leadership roles Toxic internal politics and backstabbing are common, particularly among expats who have no understanding or respect to the local culture (the firm has Lebanese, Indians, and Spanish partners, not a single local) High consulting fees not always aligned with delivery quality Lacks specialization in consulting; often outpaced by more focused competitors. Firm has not kept pace with modern consulting standards or innovation
