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

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.
