Pros
This is an excellent stepping stone for working within a true executive search firm, there is good support from (some) Partners within Korn Ferry, and the brand name really opens doors.
Cons
Not enough research support, and not enough cohesion between various teams (I.e research and Search consultants). There can often be too much work and therefore not a great work/life balance. Also the bonus structure does not work well; if you have sales people you should reward them for their performance, not skim off a large chink of their commission to go into the bonus pool for non fee earning staff.
