Stay clear of Korn Ferry - Anonymous employee Korn Ferry Employee Review

Korn Ferry is really a company that lacks integrity and transparency. I am not sure how some rate it well as it is well known that this company does not care for its employees. Layoffs are constant... no one ever feels safe which creates a toxic environment across teams. People don't want to collaborate because they are afraid that they will be the ones to go if they "share" in success. Benefits are extremely expensive, NO RAISES you must get promoted and trying to get promoted is impossible because there is no clear path for anyone to be promoted. It's all based on a committee who votes for a number of promotions twice a year and no one knows what the qualifications are... so growth is impossible. As for bonuses, it's a joke. No transparency on that either. The CEO and a few senior leaders pat themselves on the back with large raises while they lay people off each quarter and right before the holidays. There is no clear goals within the company... everything is reactive. For a company that is supposed to understanding organizational effectiveness... hahahaha... we don't see it internally. It's a mess! There is so much I can say negatively... but word of advice... don't bother. Keep looking because there is much better out there!
