I joined LMI through an acquisition and worked day-to-day with a small group of skilled teammates who were collaborative, supportive, and genuinely committed to the mission. The work itself was rewarding—especially the opportunity to contribute to space and defense projects that required technical depth, analysis, planning, and customer interaction.

Over time, several challenges began to affect the work environment. Compensation growth was limited, and as experienced staff members left, their roles often went unfilled for extended periods. This left remaining employees covering multiple responsibilities and made it harder to meet the level of quality the customer expected. While the immediate team worked hard to keep things on track, the long delays in bringing in additional space-domain SMEs created ongoing strain.

Another issue that impacted day-to-day operations was the lack of engagement from program management in customer-facing technical work. PMs tended to focus on staffing, funding, and internal business discussions, and they rarely participated in product-focused meetings where technical direction and customer needs were clarified. This left frontline staff to manage both the technical execution and most customer communication, even when leadership input would have helped resolve concerns earlier. As a result, feedback from the team and the customer often took a long time to translate into action.

During the recent government funding disruption, a portion of the team was released, myself included.

Bottom line: LMI offers meaningful mission work, flexibility, and excellent teammates, but limited leadership involvement in technical execution, slow staffing responses, and modest pay progression made it increasingly challenging to maintain consistent, high-quality support.

I have worked for multiple companies including Booz Allen Hamilition and Accenture Federal. This was hands down the worst company I have ever worked for. I will never leave to go to a smaller company again after this.

I was brought on in May 2019 and told the contract was through March 2020 and they were expecting extension. Once I started I found out the contract was really only through July of 2019. The contract was extended through September 2019, and then the company lost re compete in September 2019. When a future employee asks a date that a contract goes through you should be commuting the date the contract is through not the date your hoping the government will extend you through. 

After we lost re compete no communication was provided to me on next steps, so I looked for new work outside the company after being told by my PL (manger) there was no internal site for applying to jobs in the company.  I later found out from there amazing security officer there was a site, but that was little to late. 

LMI asks for two weeks notice, so when I decided to leave after being lied to about the contract length I provided two weeks noticed. At that time I was told hit the road and was not paid out my two week notice. 

The contracting world  is small world and I’ll never forget what both this company and the people in my line of management did to me. 

HR tried to look like they were helpful but did nothing. No one ever apologized for the lie I have in writing in an email on the length of the contract. 

If you ever get job offer from this company in National Security Group I would really re consider taking it or at least know all the facts.

LMI is staffed by wonderful people whom really pull together to help day in and day out.  A family away from our actual families is not an inappropriate way of describing most working relationships.  The work is intellectually stimulating and challenging as well as rewarding if you like to be challenged.  Unfortunately, who you know and politics determines business and HR decisions more than any other factor, even to the point of regular unethical practices being conducted and blind eyes turned towards.  This is unconsciously encouraged by all leadership, not just upper, whom understandably wish to please clients, but there is almost never acknowledgement of the need to balance what clients want (as always for free) with what is reasonable, logical, efficient, paid for by the client, and/or even legal.

The people and the work itself are the biggest reasons I stayed as long as I have, but non-technical persons making decisions without consulting technical SMEs, finances driving every decision with short-term views rather than long-term analysis of cost, and nepotistic cutthroat office (and actual) politics rule decision-making while those whom actually do the work are perpetually overwhelmed, underpaid, and underappreciated.

If money and/or work-life balance are important to you do not work here.  If challenging work and friendly co-workers are more important, then LMI may be right for you.

I think that this is a really great company to work for regardless of where you are in your career. They offer great benefits and put forth an honest effort in making sure employees feel respected and appreciated. They also do a good job of promoting a positive and healthy work/life balance. Some of the cons I would mention would be that the quality of your manager or team can vary quite widely depending on your project or Sub-Service Line (SSL). I have found that it is also a very stressful process to look for new work/projects. I would say that the general work culture is great but I'm not sure if it's for me. That said, it is my first time working for a big consulting firm and many of these companies share the same M.O. in terms of how they do business. 

My time at LMI started off promising with a reasonable workload and amount of responsibilities but quickly accelerated due to their high turnover rates and poor "leadership". They're quick to promote you in title only and make promises of higher salaries down the road only to let down employees due to "budgeting concerns". Our team was often left for months without any guidance or leadership and just figured things out on our own, then our PM would take all the credit for it. Speaking of PMs, I have never worked for a more hands off PM. While that may sound good, there's a point where you wonder what it is they even do. Wouldn't you think you'd hear from your PM more than once or twice a year? Not at LMI. And if something goes wrong do you think that PM bears any responsibility? Again, not at LMI. 

Large company with a small mindset in regards to engaging the workforce.  Frequent recognitions and awards given to those who go beyond expectations.  Gifts distributed for holidays and anniversaries are the norm.  A generous PTO policy allows employees to manage their time through coordination with team members.  The pay is slightly better than industry average and the benefits are top of the line.  It would be nice if permanent employees were given the opportunity to visit the home office as part of the Welcome Aboard process. 
Post-Covid economics seems to have affected the formerly generous perks but overall LMI is a great company to work for.

You are constantly get harassed by your manager and they will harass the client as well-A lot of micromanagement-They don't let you advance in your career and their HR is a joke. Majority of the manager have been here for a long time and same as the HR and they back each others up. If you complaint, they will make sure that you are out the door fast.  The manager don't know how to manage people and they have been here for 20 years or 30 years. They also think that they own the company. If you are looking to retire here, come and join the group and their insanity. Also, there is favoritism. If the manager likes you, regardless of your education or your work experience, then you will become a superhero.

Fantastic company with fabulous benefits.  Unfortunately, the department I worked in was very "clique-like" and the manager had absolutely no people skills.  Unless you are one of her friends, you are constantly criticized even when you are told you are doing a good job and getting commendable reviews from the people you support.  The employee before me had the same experience. Management also refused to promote another long-time employee in the department who is doing a great job, yet those in the "clique" get lots of opportunities.  Also, lots of ears listening and reporting back to management instead of being adults and minding their own business.  Forced to quit because I refused to be abused.

What is the best part of working at the company?
One of the advantages of being employed at LMI that I found particularly appealing was the unlimited vacation policy.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working at the company was particularly stressful due to the challenges associated with managing medical benefits, including restrictions on which pharmacy could be utilized.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The company had a highly relaxed work environment and culture, with managers readily available at all times.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My schedule was inconsistent as I was stationed at the client's location
