Pros

LPL is a financial firm providing a relatively easy entry into financial services, decent benefits, and a fun office culture. Working there was an opportunity to experience the day to day operations of a large back office focused firm. You will learn a lot about how the market works and why it works/doesn't really work.

Cons

Management quality highly variable, pay is not commensurate with equal opportunities in the industry, mobility is difficult. Overall, the experience you get here is highly variable dependent on department. Especially in the San Diego office, people are not exceptionally motivated. Something to be wary of.

Pros

Great pay and getting OT pay. Awesome team of SMs and RTEs who felt like family and we all wanted to see each other succeed. I was exposed so a lot of situations which strengthened my skill set. Learned the SAFe model and it looks great on resumes. I personally had a great boss, bosses boss, and RTEs.

Cons

Executive leadership is ruining the culture. Many of the amazing Directors, AVPs and RTEs left due to the poor Executive leadership who do NOT know a single thing about Agile principles. Releases are 1x/mo so you have to work one Saturday a month which can sometimes be longer than a normal workday. Release Mgmt team is very difficult to work with and can be very disrespectful. They don’t hide it and it’s accepted. Execs killed remote work.
