Pros

The talent at LPL is real. There are genuinely smart, dedicated, hardworking people across the organization who care deeply about the work and each other. That part is worth acknowledging.

Cons

Leadership culture in certain organizations has become toxic and demoralizing. Employees are living in fear, empowerment is a buzzword thrown around in town halls but nowhere to be found in practice, and morale is at an all-time low. Constant layoffs have created an atmosphere of anxiety and instability that makes it nearly impossible to do your best work. The gap between what leadership says and what employees actually experience is significant and growing.

Flexible in-office and most managers don't care if you work from home more than 2/Decent pay

Cons

Layoff cycle now what seems every 6 or so months/benefits are average at best/very siloed orgranization
