Pros
- Modern office near Grand Central - If you are in the accounting or finance teams, these 2 teams are led by leaders who you can learn from
Cons
What’s pitiful about Landing Point is that the partners take themselves very seriously as a forward-looking recruiting firm, yet it barely matches up to bigger shops who have more professional leaders and structure in place. The hot mess of upper management makes it a dreadful place where it’s hard to grow or learn new skills. The CEO wants to seem like a visionary through reading all these fad management books. Really, it’s all optics and no depth of focus or long term vision. One Partner barely comes to the office and no one is really sure what he does. It seems he’s kept around because he’s independently wealthy. Unfortunately, HR and most leadership are “yes men” to CEO who instead of caring for their teams, are there to protect themselves and lack any imagination or leadership skills. The finance and accounting team leads are exceptions who keep the firm afloat. This is not a company where you can be honest or grow. Your manager will hover over you then not respond to your questions. But when you follow up, the manager will gaslight you and assume you should know the answer, when in fact, they never replied. The company puts you in a position where you can’t move left or right. There was an atrocious situation where a female colleague made 40% less salary than a male colleague of the same work experience in the same role. This is disgusting and illegal. There are numerous other complaints from associates about the quick changes within the company and the thoughtless manner in which a big change is carried out.
