Korn Ferry

Sure why not? KF is a renowned and respectable brand in the consulting world. Do you have any specific concerns? Pls feel free to share over messages.

I would say yes, Korn Ferry can be a solid starting point for a fresher, especially if you're interested in organizational strategy, talent advisory, or HR consulting. As an Associate Consultant, you’ll gain exposure to client work, structured problem-solving, and people-focused strategy projects. While it's not a classic strategy consulting firm like MBB, it offers strong learning in leadership development, assessments, and org design. Career progression can be a bit slower than in top-tier consultancies, but it's a respected brand with global reach and can be a good stepping stone.

Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

• Korn Ferry is not a strategy consulting firm, but rather a combination of executive search, talent management and advisory services. If these are the areas you want to work in, then yes.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Overall, I heard good things - I know a couple of people who worked there and nobody complained in an overt way. 

Might be worth having a chat with a few current employees - like a coffee chat. 

Here's a guide on how to source and conduct these conversations:
