Pros

I worked for the Projects team that was at the time still growing and was generating great revenue and surpassing their goals each year. I had a great team that I worked for from Europe and MENA. I worked on various short term projects with big clients from all over. At the time I saw many opportunities to work in other field within the organisation and I saw my team members being promoted within a year. This made me believe that there was growth opportunities available if I had stayed longer. I only left because I changed careers and I realised that whilst I was capable of the work and had positive feedback. I did not want to work in this industry anymore. However, out of all my jobs within this field I think Korn Ferry was the best company to work for and I still recommend it.

Cons

When it gets busy its difficult to manage your work life balance. However, that is unfortunately natural with this industry.

Pros

Remote Work, Schedule Flexibility, PTO.

Cons

Communication is lacking -- direct managers don't have any information or insight into business changes, business functions outside of their own, or the pay/bonus information for their team. Pay & Benefits -- benefits have gone up significantly but we haven't had raises in at least 4 years and bonuses are unclear and inconsistent. No Growth Opportunities -- very little opportunity to progress your career. Long hours -- depending on what team you are aligned with, you may work an 8 hour day or you may work a 12+ hour day and when you are over capacity there is no help coming.
