Korn Ferry reviews

Frequent layoffs, even though the company is financially stable. But they don’t lay off any of the toxic team leads/managers. They say they are “one Korn Ferry” but I didn’t find this to be true. They don’t value good employees who are productive. I was laid off a team where I was a senior member and a high producer. There was a person on our team who literally complained all the time and another who had just been on the account for a few months. I was on the account for a year, promoted a positive team environment but I was the one let go, most likely because I was paid too much. I also had a couple of toxic team leads that did nothing to get me the career development I desired.

Korn Ferry has laid off many employees during my time here and with that means more work for the staff they're keeping around. I have constantly been doing the work of 2-3 people, as the most underpaid individual on my account. People I have trained with less experience than me make more money than me........ which creates an awful team culture. You can only get promoted on the company's time line, not depending on how you work but when it's time for their annual promotions or if you put in a two week notice and they try to keep you by giving you what you have deserved all along. Company tries to promote "one Korn Ferry" mindset but when the time comes and you want to explore another area of business they make it impossible to transition smoothly to your new team. Turnover is ridiculously high because the culture here is all about the top dogs and the rest of us can eat dirt.
