LHH reviews

The outplacement industry is one where you really can go the extra mile to "make a difference", as the LHH tagline goes... Unfortunately the tagline is as FAR as it goes. No extra care or consideration is extended to clients, the only thing that matters is the bottom line. So if you're in this industry or thinking about it, in order to try and help people, find another company. There are some who genuinely do care. Speaking of "genuinely caring", I think it's telling that the CEO has been writing about how to make sure that those leaving your company aren't left with a bitter taste in their mouth... And yet, here we are on Glassdoor with several reviews strongly suggesting experiences to the contrary. Now, I myself have had a fairly pleasant leaving experience because I happened to have the leverage to negotiate an exit on my own terms, but I can think of dozens of people who have been treated incredibly badly by this company, having been made redundant. By a company who are supposed to be experts in this field! The level of irony is matched only by the sheer hubris of senior management in thinking that their poor people management skills won't come back to bite them.

Because everyone is so committed, I do think that some people probably work too long hours.
