The only good thing is that the salary is credited early, between 27 to 29th of the month

Dislikes

This is only for RPO Business vertical and for not for other verticals. The Account Director and Program manager are super expert in doing micro management. In the name of Professionalism they will ensure that you became the part of a herd. Expert in ensuring that you don't set high expectations for the clients, they will call it out exclusively during the daily calls. You will be pin pointed directly or indirectly if you have different opinion. Give daily lectures of professionalism as if they are the only ones who understands how the corporate world operates. Asks you to work as per the scripts just like a tele caller agents. Favouritism is at peak. Will force you to achieve targets even if you are in medical leave. If you want to take personal leave they would want to know the reason as well for the leave. They will claim to practice culture of respect but in reality it is more to do with nodding head in whatever they say . The list is long with many more instances. A word or caution of Senior global leaders, please run a anonymous survey about program manager and Account Director leadership style and know the reality!

Good culture Salary on time Convenient place

Dislikes

No job security, Attrition rate is high, people leave every 4 months to 6 months, Bad politics by seniors and management eventually lead to exit of employees. Targets given so high that employees quit. No hike in salary.

Only salary comes on time

Dislikes

Nothing is like corporate culture here and it depends which team you are in and my TL was worst and they don’t understand female concern and if you ask something they will tell it’s excuses and they don’t know corporate language , they use bad language and here u can’t explore your skills bcz you have no right to express yourself , you need to do what they told you that’s it , they want servant not employee, people afraid to ask something here. Even if you are dying if they tell you to come you have to come.

KornFerry is a great place to work. Can see one team spirit and stands above all RPOs in terms of compensation and support from management.

Dislikes

Every organisation will have pros and cons however KornFerry always strives to identify and work towards excellence which I like.

Hybrid model of working

Dislikes

There is nothing to like first of all. Don't join this organisation because they never do appraisal any point of time ,I am not sure about other location but recruiters who are working in India they never get appraisal. I am working for Google client and these people mostly senior members like lead and manager cry alot. They never appreciate ,and if u do good work u will get loaded with other roles and responsibilities. Basically Monday morning calls has to be a motivational and update call but they came with a long list of complaint ,what u have done wrong and what are the repercussions of this and other dumb people just node their head yes yes they will not do from next time . Good IT companies never shame their employee infront of anyone but these people used to do for everyone it's like they have normalise this and included in their offer clause that they will point out your name infront of everyone if so something wrong. Stupidity and height of foolishness. Don't join this company please
