Pros

Many smart and friendly co-workers.

Cons

They don't follow norms of notice when projects are cancelled and layoffs become necessary. They outright lie to your face to get you to postpone previously-approved vacation in order to eek out the last couple weeks of billing, and then cancel your benefits without notice after claiming they wouldn't, and then lay you off *retroactively* when you're about to come back from the vacation you postponed at their request. I only learned of this practice when I discovered my health insurance was canceled after an expensive medical appointment. HR wouldn't return my call, so I had to figure it out on my own for 5 more days until they finally told me what I already had determined -- my last day was the day I left for vacation, 2+ weeks earlier. No notice nor severance in lieu of notice. No respect.

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.

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.
