If you enjoy a job that speaks in riddles, then this is the company for you. If you enjoy the Socratic method of questions when you are not in law school and have a genuine question you need manager approval for, good luck. This job was very lonely while being a new hire having to go into the office and if you are not a legacy team member you will be treated poorly. Half of the time no one is listening to what you are saying. This culture pretty much a is gigantic clique.
It is the kind of culture where you walk in, say good morning and maybe you get a smile back or nothing. It is very cold and isolating unless it is one of the days where everyone is asked to come In office for the day. This happened maybe 2 times out of a year. Once the expectations were more strict it still didn’t have the same standard as the newer employees, for example the days remote or pretend hybrid employees come in is fun but also rare and the expectations are not the same for new hires.
Middle managers will be unprofessional, bully and isolate new hires. Even if you do a great job if you are not a favorite you will have a difficult time here. It doesn’t matter if you’re doing your job if you are not accepted, however I think that’s their strategy. If you bring the client it’s easy to let you go because they can inherit the account, there are good people who work here but I don’t trust leadership and certain divisions of LHH is a sinking ship.
The metrics for long term employees are not the same for people who are newer and actually brining the business. Metrics were biased, tenured team members also inherited the work new hires would bring on and leadership would make excuses in defense for the stolen work tenured employees who created conflicts when they had not spoken to prospective clients in over 2 years but would demand credit because they also had their own metrics to hit but did nothing. When argued there would be an excuse from leadership saying they are legacy so they deserve the deal you did the work for.
This company was a huge disappointment. I do not recommend anyone who has hopes of building a life working here.
