Duff & Phelps Employee Review

Current Employee – been working at Duff & Phelps

Pros – Great learning experience for newcomers
A lot can be learnt from coworkers

Cons – Very long hours that are not paid. You are expected to work day-night if needed and you are not rewarded for it. The pay is too low, which explains the high company turnover.
Limited promotion possibilities. Tenure is more important than knowledge, skills and what one can actually do when it comes to promotion.

Advice to Senior Management – Pay more attention to employee satisfaction. You cannot expect employees to work extremely long hours and perform amazing job if they are not motivated enough. I talk in terms of pay, but also in terms of praise and promotion opportunities. Duff and Phelps have and had some of the most amazing people I know, but leadership does not pay any attention how to retain them, which is such a pity. This will always be an issue and unless more is done along these lines, the company will never be the top in its class.
