Pros

Collegial environment, work-life balance. It used a be a great company with seasoned researchers and flat organization.

Cons

The management is chipping away a great company. The current management is obsessed with the profit -- to enrich themselves. They are trying to manage the not-for-profit as a regular consulting company, and are ignoring the institutional brand of LMI -- a think tank providing the advice and consultancy to the government client. They are turning it to a body shop to send people away to the government site and turn them loose, the only thing they do is to process the pay check and skim a bit. It has become top-heavy with all the management titles, which does not mean the rank-and-files have a better chance of promotion.

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.
