LHH reviews

LHH Penna advertise themselves as "the worlds leading talent development and transition company", which is ironic when they have no interest in nurturing talent - whether that be candidates, employees or associates. There is no focus on the value that should be given to the candidates, it's simply not at the heart of what drives them. Everything is urgent because they’re so dis-organised, therefore they rely on being too reactive which compromises on the quality of their already light services. There is no recruitment or retention of quality coaches, which means that no meaningful support is provided to genuinely help individuals going through such difficult changes. For these above reasons I immediately handed in my notice as an associate since the acquisition. To be quite frank, the LHH name is not one I wish to advertise within my portfolio career. Nothing but the memory of Penna remains, which is not only a real shame for all involved, but also extremely shortsighted.

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 Also their services are so outdated, their career transition program probably was not updated since decades.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.
