Pros

enjoyed working with some team members

Cons

discrete questions of company stability were asked during interview, as I was hesitant to join: description of backlog work was false. description of support if work slowed was false. description of internal new employee support/integration was false. I joined with promises of a growing division, lots of work available. I was put on a disaster project that the client had refused, with the expectation of 'fixing' it. This resulted in a couple months of 6-7 day weeks; 10, 12, 14+ hour days (not spite exaggeration). Project successfully limped over the finish line without so much as a thank you. I was then told I needed to find work, despite no projects existing within the division. 2 weeks on the bench and I was kicked out. Total elapsed time: less than 6 months, Use, abuse, and discard. Don't expect much if you don't already have tenure.

Pros

Best company I have ever worked for! The culture is collaborative, supportive, and truly people-focused. Leadership is committed to the mission and it's inspiring to work alongside talented people who are passionate about what they do. Every employee is welcoming and willing to help you, no matter what department or role they are in.

Cons

I can't name a single negative thing about LMI.

Pros

Collaborative and mission-focused culture with a very smart workforce. Employees are encouraged to think entrepreneurially and bring new ideas, technology, and AI into workflows and operations. Strong exposure to innovative work in the govcon space, good learning and development opportunities, some workplace flexibility, and continued support for employee engagement groups.

Cons

Employee morale has been impacted by a strong emphasis on profit and growth. There can be confusion around the company’s identity and long-term direction as it continues balancing traditional consulting work with a broader push toward technology and innovation. Some employees perceive a lack of diversity across teams and inconsistency in how leadership opportunities, promotions, and visibility are distributed. Utilization expectations can make it difficult to fully disconnect or take time off. Frequent organizational shifts, leadership turnover, and changing priorities have created uncertainty in some areas of the business, and at times employees may feel like they are walking on eggshells when navigating leadership expectations and organizational change.
