Pros

I have been working for LHH Penna for the past two years and I am pretty sure I have learnt something new every single day. I love what I do and the passion that I see from the organisation as a whole, my colleagues and management is just amazing and totally inspiring. We have gone through a lot of change over the past few months with LHH's acquisition of Penna but I personally think it was handled well, there are lots of opportunities for us which weren't there previously and I feel as if management have been very open to hearing our thoughts and getting feedback throughout the whole process - the future for this business is very exciting.

Cons

I have no cons.

Thanks for taking the time to give your feedback. We will definitely be keeping up the social activities and celebrating whenever we can. After listening to the feedback about what everyone would like to do we've now organised weekly HIIT classes and Learn Mandarin sessions; Friday breakfasts will continue in all of our offices as will drinks after our monthly Knowledge Exchanges. We've also got a LHH Penna football team and netball team for those who enjoy something a little more competitive . We're in the middle of organising our all staff party to celebrate winning Country of the Year so there's lots going on socially over the next few months. We'll continue to listen to any requests re social activities and encourage everyone to get involved, let us know what they'd like to do or organise something that isn't already happening.

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.
