      Been heading downhill since the CEO gave himself a 100% raise, and cut benefits the same year.

      Pros

      Great people and interesting work. Many pockets of terrific managers who want to do great work and value their people. Used to be able to stay there for many years and still have a good career and perform a valuable service to government clients. Now only a great place to get into a specific field, gain a few years of solid experience then leave to go elsewhere to make a real paycheck and get recognized for doing good work.

      Cons

      The "new" management style is very non-"Not-for-profit" and betrays many of the founding tenets that LMI built it's terrific reputation on. Regretfully, when Adm. Pilling passed away the Board found it a good idea to hire someone who relishes his self-proclaimed ability to manage and drive organizations to succeed and his more than doubled salary more than the moral and culture of such a top notch organization. LMI is now no better than any other beltway bandit with its bloated executive management (up more than 50% in 4 years) and constantly decreasing benefits and employee satisfaction.

      LMI Response
      10y
      Thanks for posting a review. Change is hard, and often market driven, something LMI is not immune to. Can't help but wonder as a former employee if you are missing out on some of the context provided by the LMI 2020 Strategic Plan and associated changes to our operating model. While true that some senior folks have been brought in to enhance the dedicated focus to service delivery, business development and strategic growth (as well as marketing and communications), proportionally, the growth of consultants has far outstripped growth of management. The ratios of managers to consultants is virtually unchanged. And due to meeting company goals, with seven consecutive years of growth, all employees have enjoyed bonuses, tied to performance.

      Pros

      LMI has very bright amazing staff who are the best in their fields (especially within our Logistics practices). There is a strong focus on analytic support behind the recommendations and client support we provide. The firm historically has provided good benefits and a strong focus on its core consulting services (though this has changed over time).

      Cons

      There has been a shift in focus over the last 2-3 years away from core consulting services. The administrative/Overhead functions within LMI appear to be driving our transformation and have implemented systems and controls that are reducing efficiency. This is a company of analysts and many have done the math to see that admin positions are increasing faster than our consulting positions or growth rate. Additionally , the cost per admin position is increasing with the new management positions being created. This as well as a new building will put extra pressure on the direct staff to cover these costs.

      Pros

      The people working there are great. The opportunities are there if you're in the right area.

      Cons

      Top heavy management structure. Fairness and equity issues are widely dependent on who you work for. Work-life issues can be out of balance.
