      Pros

      75% of the people are great. Remote work. Good PTO plan but its impossible to be on PTO when you take PTO.

      Cons

      There are has been several rounds of layoffs in my time with the company. Annual bonus is 100% "discretionary" and NEVER worth the effort that employees put in to their role everyday. This year there was zero merit increase yet the CEO got a massive raise. It has become a culture of "up or out" and the only way to move up in the company is by moving in to sales. Old school sector leaders do not promote a team approach and only look out for themselves. Most people are always "on" in one way shape or form. I know the company ran just fine before smart phones. Let people enjoy their time off when they take it.

      Pros

      I am a consultant through a firm acquired by Korn Ferry and have had a great experience with both the firm (Salo) and with Korn Ferry as a parent company. Great to have benefits and PTO as a consultant and great training and resources available - good communication as well!

      Cons

      Transitional period during acquisition had a few bumps but nothing major and all ironed out as more time has gone on.

      Pros

      The client diversity across industries and regions is top notch. Great brand recognition. The marketing investments in Korn Ferry Tour and LA28 paid off. Smart people. Remote work is a plus as 75% people work remotely. No push for facetime in offices. Work from anywhere! Everyone knows of Korn Ferry!

      Cons

      A culture of long hours and interrupted vacations. Clear demarcation between haves(fee earners) and have nots (execution). High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient. Low pay as there are no merits due to market/company performance. Hard to get food at the holiday party so stop at Five Guys prior.
