Pros

Given good latitude and freedom to drive outcomes in the way that I choose - but this only works if you have a relentless focus on commercial and client outcomes to deliver the results expected

Cons

Extremely lean resourcing and limited innovation in resourcing models to drive efficiency and productivity - need to embrace better structuring of roles in client delivery system, drive smarter ways of working and accelerate digital / AI solutions to ensure value creation for client - too much time spent on manual tasks and staffing issues detracting from true client focus

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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.
