How are the career development opportunities at Kennedys?

One of the most genuinely nice HR/recruitment teams I have been part of with and tons of fun to work with. Hybrid working policy is also very good as is internal progression opportunities for administrative staff. Dedicated Responsible Business team.

Senior management could maybe be slightly more visible. I'm also not sure how cohesive the culture was across different departments and offices.

Great co workers and people to work with

No career progression/ opportunity Very limited work in Brisbane

- There are some dedicated and hardworking colleagues. - Good work life balance

- Outdated Approach: The firm is stuck in its old ways and lacks innovation. It’s a highly traditional environment that doesn’t adapt well to new methods or technologies. If you are looking for growth and modern practices, this company falls short. - Leadership Issues: There is a lack of strong leadership. The leadership team struggles with managing people effectively. There is little to no support for professional growth or clear direction on where the company is heading. - Poor Communication: Communication is a major issue. There’s a constant feeling of being left in the dark, and important information is not shared efficiently. Misunderstandings and confusion are common. - Salary: Compensation is below industry standards, and the pay does not match the effort or the level of responsibility expected. The firm needs to be more competitive in offering salaries to attract and retain talent. - Limited Career Growth: There is no clear path for career advancement. The firm doesn’t prioritise employee development, and feedback is minimal or non-existent.

Nice work environment and space

Can’t think of any right now

Great people to work with

Career progression slow and loads of politics

A supportive culture with great progression opportunities. Senior management are very approachable. Hybrid working is good.

Nothing to share, Kennedys is a good place to start and continue your career.

Everyone is very friendly and approachable Secretarial coordinator/manager very supportive Flexible working Nice canteen serving food from morning until late afternoon Looked after well during the pandemic

No career development/lack of progression Salary very poor Certain managers/partners are very out of touch and have no idea what the people in their teams do leaving you feeling under appreciated Team felt very disconnected since return to office after covid Firm thinks that DPAs are replacement for secretaries when secretaries leave

Nice, work life balance is good

No career growth, under compensated

Wellbeing day, PMI, good mat pay

Sudden and dramatic change in company culture with pressure from above filtering down. No recognition of hard work, time in service. Pay does not reflect output and competitors offer significantly more in terms of salary and package. Lots of regional recruitment making the London office quiet and lacking team morale. Little understanding for working mums and return from maternity.

The firm provides reliable job security and a steady work environment. Generally manageable workload with some flexibility in work hours. Business services teams are skilled and dedicated, fostering a collaborative atmosphere.

Salaries are competitive but not exceptional compared to industry standards. Decision-making can be slow due to layered management and bureaucratic procedures. Opportunities for promotion and career growth are somewhat restricted.
