Korn Ferry Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

I work with consummate professionals who are all experts in their space

Company culture is fine, very hard in a remote environment. Would love company team re-treats.

Team culture was positive, but the company's was non-existent. Felt more like a contractor living on borrowed time.

There is no positive. The workload is crazy

They empower you and your goals

Review from Operations Dept

Great culture and opportunities for growth

The company has ambitious goals and is disciplined about investing in growth opportunities that will get us there

Review from Operations Dept

I enjoy Helping my clients succeed

They care about their employees

Collaboration and commercial culture at the same time

Everyone is kind and understanding.

It is highly collaborative and pretty positive

What stands out is the fact that people will always help you, guide you, and your colleagues appreciate your efforts. Strong client and commercial focus.

No catty behaviour and very supportive team

No one puts anyone else down, everyone is highly skilled.

Some really talented people that were successful in the corporate world.

Review from Operations Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Become a company rather than a coalition of willing entrepreneurs.

Get rid of sociopathic executives, have actual values (not just lip-service), have ethics (name one client we voluntarily refused on ethical grounds), stop working people into the ground, practice what you preach, learn what scientific integrity is.

Asking staff how they feel, having zero tolerance for bad behaviour, invest in the development of their own people

The US exec team need to let local markets manage themselves. Allow us to be successful

Reduced bureaucracy, incentive plans need a radical overhaul, focus on internal equity, greater transparency, more delegated authority to local leaders.
