Culture at KordaMentha

Culture is decent but not fully defined yet as there have been many new senior recruits. Different service lines often socialise or work together on engagements Teamwork is very highly valued as a skill - Networking within the company and externally is heavily encouraged at all levels

An unhealthy blend of frat boy culture and alcoholism. Networking and teamwork have had the line blurred with alcoholism and an expectation of participation that is never explicitly stated as being a factor in performance review but is quietly known to be a key factor.

It is a very relaxed workplace in which social cohesion seems to be a priority. This makes sense given the nature of the work, which involves developing relationships with lawyers and bankers in order to gain work as well as interaction with a wide range of stakeholders - employees, management, suppliers etc. It also makes sense given the structure of teams, which is based on availability and skills. Most engagements are small and so employees are engaged in several projects at once unless there is a large, formal engagement, in which case the teams would be larger and wholly focused.

Everyone, including Partners and senior leadership, are super accessible and willing to help. We have plenty of fund events and get amongst the activities at work e.g. table tennis and pool.

Very rare to work after hours, happens maybe once every two - three months when there are external deadlines with governing bodies. Depends on engagements. Lots of young people in the office and a good top down culture.

Company is quite social and flat culturally. You can talk to senior people comfortably. Nothing toxic or negative. People are generally highly professional and sociable

The office culture among the junior team is very good - everyone is very friendly and gets along. Generally people are happy to help out and assist you with tasks if you are under pressure, and socialising is quite good. I do catch up with my colleagues outside work hours as we see each other as friends (but still respect each other as colleagues). In terms of the junior-senior team relationship, there could be more communication and consideration towards transparency. In addition, sometimes there are situations where only certain people at the junior level get invited for coffees and things like that with the senior team which is sometimes frustrating - but it isn't intentional.

There is a good group of people who get along both in the workplace and outside. There isn't a specific segregation between levels of seniority when it comes to socialising and cooperating

Structure/hierarchy: There are nine different levels at the company (as follows): Business Analyst, Senior Business Analyst, Executive Analyst, Senior Executive Analyst, Manager, Associate Director, Director, Executive Director and Partner. The company also has six different teams (as follows): Restructuring, Forensic, Corporate, Real Estate, 333 Capital and Practice Management. Co-operation and teamwork: Co-operation and teamwork within the company is very progressive. All employees (regardless of job title) interact on an engagement and share the workload. There is no middle man when it comes to communication between lower-level and higher-level employees (ie. Business Analysts and Partners discuss matters directly). Beyond co-operation and teamwork between employees, there is also co-operation and teamwork with interstate offices. The engagements you are able to work on are not limited to your office, there is the opportunity to work on engagements for the (for example) Sydney office while working at the Melbourne office. Teamwork is not limited to service lines either, depending on the engagement multiple teams may be needed. Socialising amongst colleagues: Socialisation at the company is great. All employees are personable, welcoming and easy to get along with. Within office hours, socialisation is limited to walks to the coffee machine, general desk chit-chat, lunch breaks and the occasional work event. After hours, the socialisation is just as good. "Friday Night Drinks" are held each Friday. These nights are always a hit. We also hold annual events such as the KordaMentha Ball.

Flat hierarchy, very approachable senior team, strong work together mentality, social events for all to partake in before or after hours.

Very good culture, close knit team both in junior and intra level. Very easy to have relationships and learn from senior team, who are well engaged with the office.

Socialisng obviously down with COVID, but normally we do occasionally lunches / morning teas, great Christmas party. Co-operation is good and everyone is willing to help, especially with questions.

A very cohesive and welcoming environment. The team works well together and enjoys plenty of post work catch ups.

It's a good culture that is friendly, hard working with lots of cooperation in teams and across the various areas

Amazing culture, in all aspects.

It is a very supportive workplace, the people are very switched on and there are a lot of senior people to look up to. It is very teamwork focused and you are never completing tasks alone. It is a very social cohort but can often be male dominant.

The culture is very good. Everyone is generally very sociable both during and after hours and we are always working in teams.

Hard working culture, some opportunities to socialize outside of work too. Good mix between junior and senior employees in charge of social events.

Senior staff are very visible and engage well with junior staff. Each specific engagement will have a small team from all levels of hierarchy. Staff enjoy working hard but also are proactive in socialising and organising events out of work

Culture seriously affected by covid. Socialising has been nonexistant.
