I have worked at a myriad of different consulting and advocacy firms for the government, and LMI has been by far the best. We have thousands of employees, and I personally feel heard by our Senior Leadership. They nurture and grow talent, and genuinely care about their people. In terms of doing the work, they knock that out of the park as well.
Cons
If you're good at what you do, you need to learn how to say no before you find yourself doing 80+ hours a week. Not specific to LMI, but a challenge in this industry.

We’re happy to hear about your LMI experience! Thank you for taking the time to provide this review. If you have any additional thoughts or feedback, don’t hesitate to email us at conversation@lmi.org.
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.
