Pros

I've been in high tech for a couple decades and I've worked for and with many of the most well known tech companies in the USA. LPL has the most mature technology process I have experienced and, while this could be a bad thing if it is ponderous the LPL implementation is well balanced between value vs effort. And the very best thing is that the company is expanding at such a pace that growth opportunities are endless. It is my observation that applying yourself at LPL will lead to a lucrative and interesting career.

Cons

While not exclusive to LPL rapid growth comes with growing pains. These manifest in political rivalries and long hours and I see that at the VP+ level at LPL. I have seen the same thing at other fast growing companies.

Pros

If you are smart and willing to take on new tasks, there is always something to do and learn.

Cons

Way too political. Some of the leaders (AVP+) are worthless and everyone knows it. Working or projects is a giant cluster f**k. Usually there are 15 people on a project and 5 know what to do while the other 10 just get in the way. Some departments are ran horribly. Way too many projects with no clear time table and resource planning.
