LMI reviews

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.

- Flat Promotion Potential, very difficult to move up from within unless you've been around for a very long time period. Again, the 'good ole boy' network. - Junior level staff are treated as administrative staff more so than analysts and growing professionals. Its a good place to gain your first 1-2 years of experience, but do not feel like your work is valued or appreciated. - In my situation, my work was monopolized by a program manager and I had to forgo other opportunities to gain more experiences because of the time that was demanded of me - but not utilized. This same individual was very condescending and would never admit mistakes. They often credited my work as their own and criticism was rarely ever constructive. I was treated like (and performed tasks) more like a personal assistant, which is very different than what I was sold on in my interview. - No casual Friday's, except many people don't exactly fit the standard for 'business casual' on a day to day basis but I have never heard of anyone being told to dress better. - CEO seems a little out of touch. As a jr. level staff member, many of the staff I have encountered who have been here for several years have expressed that they have seen a decline since he took office.
