Korn Ferry Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Strong healthcare and 401k plan

Fair salary and comp package. Benefits are pretty expensive.

The base salary is very competitive

Could have been cheaper, a bit pricey for ppo

Review from Operations Dept

basic salary is good, and decent benefits

Discounts and stock options available for employees.

Healthcare benefits are the best I've seen in my career.

Time off between Christmas and New Years

Week paid PTO during week of Christmas without having to use our personal time.

bonus is the best part

No cap on what I can make of i am successful in the marketplace

it's just enough not too high or low

Alined with amount of hard work

Base plus Bonus option provided. Also like the extra added incentives for hitting targets through the year

Gym, private insurances, annual leave

The base pay is competitive

The pay rate is above average!

Our maternity leave is exceptional

Full benefits package is great, maternity/paternity leave

Review from Operations Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Merit increases, a better 401K offering and a more transparent bonus process

Higher base and/or bonus pay

Pay market rates and provide an annual bonus or share scheme

Korn Ferry is not at par in the market, especially in the PH. We hope we can have better benefits such as performance bonuses.

Review from HR Dept

Every year without a pay raise is an effective pay cut. In real terms my compensation never increased.

Better health benefits and a better provider. The family plans are very expensive and Cigna is awful. Also no annual bonus.

A market rate comp package would be a start.

Undervalued and not respected along with the lack of Korn Ferry core values

being paid in line with the market

No sign-on bonuses, very low bonuses in general, no equity options unless you are a senior partner, no professional development funds, very expensive and bad health insurance.

More transparency / equity checks

Compare compensation for westeners and non westeners with same performance at Partner level and you will see why

A pay increase- i am underpaid

Company is profitable but doesnt treasure

There is no clarity on pay ranges and how they relate to the market. Consequently, it's not clear whether pay is consistent and fair internally. Add to that, at partner level, there are no pay increases so pay position erodes rather rapidly over time. Further, bonuses only relate to 'the numbers'.

We have little control over our overall comp amd when the work load massively increases, the meager bonus doesn't match

The company spends way too much on diversity equity speeches yet the dialog often comes down to skin color alone and not and individuals' live values and personal beliefs. They are mixing Kool-Aid and selling it to Corporate America - making tons of money off using one-way narrative.

If raises kept up with the market and bonuses reflected the commercial aspects of my job.

No constructive performance management process and no focus internally on people, development and engagement. More discussion needed 121 on KPIs and added impact and value beyond financial revenue

Pay is lower than competitors
