Pros

Colleagues are kind and helpful because we are such a small team we often help each other out as much as we all can.

Cons

LHH slogan - our people will always come first followed by our clients. They do not walk the talk, REVENUE COMES FIRST not our people, not our clients. The company only care about the profits, our apac and global townhall always talk about sales. Even leadership conferences are mostly attended by sales representatives. New female MD was onboarded in Jan 2020 and she is the worst leader ever. She lacked empathy, giving constructive feedback, refused to listen to other opinions, demands for things to be done her way, micromanaging, calling for many unnecessary meetings which leads to us being unproductive, no time management, do not respect her employees and even asking us to work during our sick leave. She also acts passive aggressive and will lie and throw you under the bus infront of higher management so that SHE will look better. APAC CEO has ignored all the feedback made and it felt like our voices are not heard just because it is not revenue related matters. Our mental well-being are severely affected by our new leader yet when we reach out, there’s no help. If this is the company you wish to work for, please go ahead to apply. Also their services are so outdated, their career transition program probably was not updated since decades. The way they work are so old school and lack innovative aspect. The irony of selling leadership and talent development programs yet their current MD lacked all these skill sets.

Pros

The team was one of the strongest aspects of the organization, with many supportive and hardworking colleagues. PTO and time-off benefits were competitive, including occasional early-release days and additional time-off opportunities throughout the year.

Cons

The company culture has significantly declined in recent years, leading to lower employee morale and engagement. Micromanagement became increasingly common, while transparency and trust diminished. Although remote work was heavily promoted, there has been a shift toward a hybrid/in-office model. Office conditions often created challenges, including recurring maintenance issues and an open floor plan that made it difficult to focus and conduct private conversations or meetings. Compensation has not remained competitive with market expectations, making it increasingly difficult for employees to achieve strong earnings. Comparable staffing firms in the industry often offer higher compensation while providing similar benefits and time-off programs. As a result, retaining experienced recruiters and top performers has become increasingly challenging. Work-life balance also suffered due to the pressure of meeting KPIs and performance metrics, often requiring work outside of normal business hours to remain competitive and meet expectations. Employee engagement initiatives and team-building activities that once contributed to a positive environment have largely disappeared. There has also been noticeable turnover among tenured employees and top performers, raising concerns about retention and overall organizational direction.
