Pros

Good folks you'll get to know and its nice to share the frustration with others.

Cons

Extremely political, most managers all got their positions by political means. They could not last a week doing the work of whom they manage. It is upsetting to see them chat in circles while our phones and incidents are increasing. There is no sense of humor or relief to be found. Expect heart burn and high blood pressure as a result of being a LPL employee.

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.
