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.
