      poor promotion and recognition structure - Associate Recruiter Korn Ferry Employee Review

      Pros

      1. Move to different accounts to experience different culture and work environment fit. 2. Good place to network.

      Cons

      1. Slow promotion process 2. No annual increment (but more responsibilities) 3. Lateral move only to different accounts. They will not open doors to secondment from Assoc Recruiter to a Recruiter level. If given the opportunity uplift or salary adjustments are impossible. Promotions are managed by US who has no visibility within the Australia market. 4. They know that their people are good, but they sure do not know how to keep them. It's always "my hands are tied".

      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.

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 High expectations with outdated systems, manual processes, inefficient.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