Pros

The salary comes on time every month.

Cons

Managers at Korn Ferry Digital are completely useless. The DevOps and IT teams have such bad attitudes that they end up being more of a roadblock than a help when trying to resolve issues. The VPs take credit for the hard work of people below them, while developers remain stuck in the same positions. They constantly push problems down the chain — issues that mostly stem from their own lack of communication and poor management skills. The engineers are mediocre at best, with most being contractors, so there’s absolutely no real culture within the organization. The CEO regularly sends out delusional, tone-deaf emails that make it clear he has no understanding of what’s actually going on in the company.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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