By Kashif Salahuddin
Need to improve people judgement skills in interviesw, stupid IQ questions, same level of technical questions irrespective of how experienced the interviewee is and self ego, alot of self ego,
By Ahmed
Very one man show company... doesnt put confidence in its resources..
By ..
Long time to get necessary approvals.. again a one man show, no confidence in its people, private but a govt style of working. Self ego, mean, no professionalism, no proactiveness.

No career path, no corporate culture. You have to please bunny to get recognition. Kids of influential people who can bring them projects get all the lime light. No learning on the job.
By Someone
A well reputed company. thats all I know about LMKR.. few of my pals work there.. and my buddies are smart like me :) ... so this add to the company.
By Jawad
LMKR was my first and only job experience in Pak and I personally learned alot but I have to agree with all the "Against Pings" as those issues do exist and LMKR has to address them quickly... *Disclamier : Just to be fair I will like to mention I am Co-CEO of Zigron Inc and PingMyCompany is our product.
By Haris
Well, its a bad place to work at :-). Too much favoritism. Stupid as hell management [especially HR and their VP Shabana Khan aka Bunny]. LMKR minus Bunny can be a good place to work at.
By No Name please
The only true company where Information Technology [IT] SUCKS at its best.
By No Name
A true SETH company with all the VIPs (born off influential people by mistake) getting all the raises, cars, perks etc. etc. The HR code (or any other code for tht matter) applies only on the less priviliged (the people who work their a**es off to make LMKR where ever it is). All TC doers of the VP get to do all they want any time they want. Absolutely NO growth!! Dead Grounds!! HR/Accounts/Admin are the worst Depts. I've ever had to deal with in the past 3 companies I've worked for! To top that you need to either run off because of the dim-witted senseless notice period OR Buy the comapny that you want to join next so they agree to wait for you for 3 MONTHS !!! Aaaaaargghh !!! Join Punjab Police instead !!
By unonimus
Every policy wether its notice period, annual leaves, provident fund or training bonds; is in favor of management and against the employees trying to make the bars stonger for the prisoners of lmkr.

I started working with lmkr from the year 2005 and so far its been great while working here . I stronly believe that we make our own envoirnment and we make our organizations better by ourselves ...we are the ingredients of organizations who either make them or break them. Looking at myself and my organization I feel I am aligned with it . last but not the least is that I believe I am at the right place :)
By Aamer
LMKR is a first rate company. One of the best if not THE BEST in Pakistan. It's rapid growth may have led to some slight bumps along the way, but what in this world is immune from growing pains. Overall, it's THE BEST, OF THE BEST, OF THE BEST.

Well i do not understand why people always talk bad about there compnies...you people work there and earn from there...so one should not tlak abd abut his/her company. For me LMKR has been very postive and a message to those who ing agasint it...well amke alits of them and then make a company of your own and then do let the leist of complaints thing happen there
By zubair aslam
I personally conduct alot of interiews in my 2 years of service and I know that LMKR have Good interview panels. Always try to adopt right path (with proceses) for right people, so for part of LMKR, you guys should be right :)
By Jaws
Come on, I mean really yaar why is all you saying that things when you know the true is not so good. I work in LMKR and I know that the peoples dont have a say and the mangement doesnt care the small bit. The unqualified peoples who TC can LPC, all they get is money, car, bonus and title while the quiet hardwork get nothing and get a 2 year bond and 3 month policy so no other company think to hire you. If you get interview with other company then the HR team help to make problems for you and also get the other company to say no. This is evil and not like a good company to the employees. In LMKR they give you a Danda where it is Thanda.

Tayyab Malak is the most un-professional and stupid chap i've ever came across in my 5 years career. he is always wasting enrgies on immaterial things like putting the tie on, badges on and clamping down on internet facility. Screw you Tayyab MAlik
By Guess me if you can
Upper and Middle Management problems. Lot of problems. Unqualified get big promotion and continue to be useless, highly paid and do not provide value to company.
By annoy
Probably the worst company in Islamabad. Bloody full of politics of the management, i never even bothered to Apply for a job in this company.. I was offered to Apply by an X colleague who joined LMKR, i simply and immediately refused to join.
By IT Freek
I once dropping my CVs in different companies in ETC (Islamabad) when i am about to start my career. I went to LMKR and I saw their security guard sitting outside and was collecting resumes. I saw that, and moved otherway without dropping my resume. Is it really how they collect resumes??? Shamefull.
By Rashid
Don't apply for a job here. You are better off joining CDA and sweep streets and pick up dog shit.
By annoy
I believe there is no company without issues or having perfect policies and people. However, one should be very careful in expressing his/her feeling about the organization. Make sure that you put a comment about company not a person. This world is too small and you may be crossing roads with ones you don’t like.
By ABC
The most stupid working environment i have ever seen....You need to do TCs to get your self recognized...Alot of politics is there.....I dont know why department level management tries to supress the hardwork of employees
By hhhhhhhhhh
Great place to work! there is alot of learning if you have the flare. Excellent workplace environment, being an IT service providers it gives an employee a great chance to learn about new emerging technologies by the leading vendors like IBM, Oracel, MS, HP, and emerging in fields like information security, GIS, Knowlwedge nanagement, etc Most of the people get good jobs after working in LMKR.
By Owais
LMKR is good place to learn new technologies but HR and AdMin are really pathatic
By Azhar
LMKR is a good company wid lot of politics but it does provide a gr8 learning opportunity I started ma career frm dat company and wen I was in probation I left coz of politics but for that far I loved its policies and learning opportunity I strongly recommend fresher to start deir career frm dere it il realy boost dere career....
By Umer Mujtaba
Simply awesome......... Most of the against threads are from those people who even never got a chance to enter in such a great company.....so boys be patient as Grapes are sour
By Abid Mehmod
LMKR is the most stable IT company in terms of Resources, Clients and financially. I got accepted in a University and I was given Relaxation in the 3 months of Notice period after my resignation as I had to leave early. Don’t have to do late sittings if not required, and no problem in taking casual/sick leaves (LGC). Company follow a Business process for all office matters Internal and External which is excellent. Management is Business Minded, and they know how to bring new Business to the company, so LMKR is here to stay. Team environment is excellent (LGC), and it really depends on the Manager what kind of culture(friendly) he wants to impose on the team. Problems are every where but it does not mean that the whole company is bad/useless and one should close his eyes. State of the art Facilities and it is well reputed and well known company in Pakistan. If you do your work quietly on time, and don’t get involve in politics, then it is a Good place to work. If you are very good in politics and you also are expressive, then it is the Best place to work. If you are unable to satisfy your client, then it is the worst place to work for you which is logical.

LMKR was my first and only job in Pakistan. Every company has its own issues and so does LMKR. But LMKR provides a very good opportunity to enhance your skills. It also provides a very good exposure to the new tools and technologies to its employees. You are always free to do whatever you like for your career progression. I spent almost 5 years in LMKR with good career growth alongwith Salary and Benefits. :)

LMKR finished tea break to avoid expense.
By noname
LMKR is very good company. I spent almost 11 years with them. Throughout this period I learn a lot . During my assignment I visited US, UK, Middle East , Egypt and many more countries. Frabkly speaking I was not very good engineer, but I groomed myself in LMKR. The fact is that the position and status I hold today is because of my parents prays , Grace of GOD and LMKR support. Best of luck for LMKR.
By ashar
TC, politics, bad management, real pathetic HR ppl, real pathetic middle management. In my opinion owners wants to grow this company, but due to improper middle+some big names (who are there since ages) they are involved in useless micro management, pathetic policies. They are running an IT company like a factory at Gujranwala or faisalabad. Developers are like labor, poor managers always show every failure due to the developers. its a weird place to work in.
By Current employee
Although LMKR is a very good compnay. As they provide jobs to a huge no of people on regular basis. Train them and groom them to a higher positions. But things which are very bad here make this company a hell for the emplyee are the managment attitude. Only those people get rewards who do TC. Otherwise u cant grow here. Tayyab Malik behaviour is really rude. He even dont know the ethics of his post VP. he speaks with his employess as Fish market man. Who really dont know about the corporate culture behaviours.
By Imran
You must remains at 10,000 for two months then 15,000 during whole bond period means two years. Because You have filled Bond and now you are purchasing prison of LMKR
By Some one
LMKR gives 10,000 in 1st two months then they give 15,000 all of your 2years stay because you have signed two year bond. Means you are purchased slave of LMKR. They will increase when they wish and how much they want you even cant speak loudly. Its shame
By Some1
If you wanted to learn something then join these guys, they will give you great learning experience.
By techjazz
From what i know and hear, its one of the better places to work in the IT industry.
By Atif
professionally and personally hurt. Best hey...good luck lmkr. :) no worries.
By hurt
Well, it does have many downsides but it is a good platform to excel in the future, probably in other companies if you dont get a chance in this one. But yeah, satisfaction level is low. Specially in non LGC.
By thhhr rhtrh
Well, the career growth for any person is dependent on his own efforts and interest, but i would rate LMKR very good in terms on career growth. It is excellent for LGC guys. For IT Professionals it depends on the nature of project, but i have seen many people become experts on dull projects even. Summary is that, it is a good place for self motivated persons, fresh grads to mid level career.
By Adeel Javed
Not bad out of the worst .. I did learn a lot from the company ... and its better than other ... Management of the company that needs improvement .. Thumbs Up LMKR
By Shahan
LMKR has its plus points and minus points .. as every other company We are all opportunists, some with optimistic and some with pessimistic view. As far i am concerned i will be optimistic here i did learn from LMKR and where i am today, my time in LMKR has its role in it. I also agree with all the people having negative views bcoz i have been a part of this system as well .. But overall .. my tenure was good so i will vote for it!
By Shahan
I dont know why all in-competent and lazy guys get good salary and perks.one reason is that they belong to good family background, like son or any influential person... lmkr is full of these dick heads, only these chaps are enjoying the show, the real people who are actually backbone of this company are always ignored, thats why lmkr is still a small company.
By Irfan
LMKR is a good company overall, but the office culture is really full of politics. its like you are working in 'Lok Sabha' of india :) every person tries to please the black lady. the madam is fond of doing micro management in everycase but she doesn't know "A B C" , how to run a corporate culture and how to treat professionals, so this is the root of all problems, i have been working here for past 3 years.
By A Worker
The basic problem of lmkr is bunny, she is the root cause of all the problems, because of her lack of trust on her own employees, she likes back-biting a lot, whenever you find her in cafe, you'll see a person with her, giving her false reports, just to save his own job, because he doesn't know how to work. All of these guys are basically manager, and they make incompetent persons their team leads. So problem from VP, to blue eyed managers, and to blue eyed Team Leads. Only lowest creatures like developers, engineers are working and feeding all these also. a very similar situation like pakistan... so they'll never grow, they are still a small house company, saith culture, conspiricies, flirts and smoking offcourse. The president should take care about his employees who are like his kids, bcz they are feeding him and earning livelihood for them also, and the top management is enjoying and putting blue eyed incompetent people to ride on their heads. worst example is when any engineer/developer resigns he is deprived off his final settlements also, thus these big people try to save few hundred thousand rupees also, to purchase latest model of BMW. khush raho :)

For newbies LMKR is quiet pathetic , their HR team is so full of it. They do not know how to inform people before hand of essentials of what the interview is going to be about and at the same time they classify this is a tactic to assess in essence the quality of the candidate? Well also their applicant form asks everything of who was your grand daddy till what do your siblings do. Sums up 'politics and connections' makes good business in Pakistan. I wander though with the plummeted petroleum out look in the future where will this company be?

I m farah LMKR is best company as comopare to other oil companies , specially for girls becoz Bunny fully support her in all issues .Management of LmkR is better .
By farah Naz
phew! LMKR is one of those things in this world that really make you believe that there is a GOD! Else neither Pakistan nor LMKR could run! lol! LMKR is so full of confused management and apparently its passing down to the employees as well. The last post, i assume was meant to be "For" LMKR but was posted in "against" but no need blaming the poor employees, we know the reason.
By Basheera
Being an X employee of LMKR,, I prase my decision to join LMKR 2 years back because it is the most renouned company in Pakistan and even here in Germany, paki students from different cities talk about LMKR. The thing which is helping me here a lot is the technical skills and interaction with team members/clients , a lot of it I learned while working in LMKR. In LMKR u dont just learn Technical skills, but u learn how to interact, how to deal with clients, how to adjust in a different company culture, and all aspects of your personality are polished with time.
By Anonym
LMKR is a company dat has recently survived some difficult times after the disaster at ETC building. Also under these recession times it has flourished and made its own way. I would say a person has to be positive and try to do his own work and everything around will take care of itself. Good and Bad are at every place . So we should stay positive and work hard. LMKR has been a good part in my career and also made lots of nice friends here.

LMKR is nice and progressive place to work.
By A
In these dire situations that surround the country, companies with cadre and ambition are the one that would last. LMKR has been facing tough times following the Marriott bomb blast (from relocation to the global financial crisis) but even then they are still managing, not only the retention of their employees but also trying to put every bit they can for the society on the whole(Swat Relief). These are the indicators that differentiate good company from a great company! Actions speak louder then words!!!
By SomeOne
When bomb hit Marriott, LMKR was da only company of its kind that paid itz employeez even while they were sent on leave. People like to whine and complain just because they can't be satisfied anywhere.
By Tazzz Mania
No layoffs here despite the political and economic turmoil. Ask people who don't have any jobs and are being sent home? Why is LMKR receiving so many job applications? It is one of the very few stable servicce compoanies operating in Pakistan today.

Well I agree to All PING Against this company... Managers are incompetent. always want to save their own ass. thats why just making the people work whatever is required by client. such that some users have already described. GOVT STYLE WORK. no recognition.

I disagree with the statement.I joined LMKR on my skills and I had no any PARCHI for that post.If someone has bad experience it means that he was not competent and able to do the job in LMKR.LMKR is best place to work

How the company management can improve the environment of the company?? Which currently is very bad.
By kashif

Answers:
They need to delegate more decision making capabilities to managers...
By khan
1-Nominate qualified persons as managers, only see professional qualities whilie nominating managers, instead of 'other' qualities. 2-give respect to real earners, i.e. software engineers/geological engineers/technical people from all departments. 3-revise salary procedures.
