LSI Reviews

Pros

Very good pay and benefits.

Cons

Executive management will not allow challenges that may impact company risk or future success.

Advice to Senior Management

The stock price and market cap are good gauges for success over the long term. The past 5-6 years would show that decisions made were not respected by the market nor did they add value to shareholders. Admitting this and taking a different direction would be a good decision.

Pros

Relative good benifit; compensation is comparable to similar industries.

Cons

bureaucratic management, few advancement oppertunity.

Pros

It was a fun place to work

Cons

Sometimes one of the upper management personal was difficult

Pros

people that work there are cool.

Cons

management is terrible. they burn so many bridges and lose so many clients that your always switching to a new team. appraisers suck. its like baby sitting. these guys are supposed to be professionals and never turn in there reports bc lsi pays them so low that they are last on the list of things to do. then managers yell at you bc the reports arent in.

Advice to Senior Management

wake up

Pros

Good salary
Good work/life balance
Interesting work

Cons

Management initiatives sometimes taken without consulting front line staff, resulting in wasted effort as initiatives are often abandoned after a short time
Chance for internal promotion is low as hiring is limited due to outsourcing to Indian and China

Advice to Senior Management

Mid-level management should get early feedback from front line staff before implementing grandiose initiatives as to not waste everybody's time

Pros

Benefits are simply awesome! They are far better than any company I have ever worked for. Medical, dental, vision and even profit sharing!

Cons

Upper management tries to pinch pennies in all of the wrong places while allowing others to boon dogle and waste tons of money. Most employees do the work of several people while others (the good ol boys) do absolutely nothing. You have heard of the "good ol boys club" well this company defined it.

Advice to Senior Management

Never forget that buying cheap to save money is like stopping a clock to save time. It just doesn't work.

Pros

Excellent Work Life Balance and benifits are very good.
Managers care about your needs and help you in when needed

Cons

Not enough room for growth and upper management is not finding right mix for success of company even though there is potential

Pros

Experience of employees is an asset.

Cons

Old boys network and prejudice holds the productivity down. Middle management focus on short term self preservation.

Advice to Senior Management

Reforming the middle management and dismantling the old boys network at all levels and the prejudice that comes with it will unlock the potential of the talented employee base and can make LSI succeed.

Pros

Work in LSI is quite easy. There is little stress and pressure on work in LSI. A lot of engineer come to work after 10 am and leave for home before 6pm. we have a lot of time with family.

Cons

can not learn anything because I have been doing the same thing for over 10 years and I feel so bored.

Advice to Senior Management

LSI need better management team. we have too many meetings and wasting time and a lot of political issues.

Pros

Allentown is good place close to NY or other bigger city. But living cost is low here. People at LSI here are easy going.

Cons

No similar company is around here. It means if you lost the job, you have to be relocated for another one.
