Pros

Brand name is strong in CA

Cons

My experience in the Marketing Department was largely defined by how I was treated on a day-to-day basis. The way communication was directed at me over time became impossible to sustain. The cumulative effect affected my overall well-being and significantly disrupted my quality of life. In hindsight, I regret the years I spent under that department’s leadership.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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