Pros

There are great people and teams at LPL who truly want to solve complex problems, do great work and celebrate one another.

Cons

So many. -Leadership lacks the ability to make good decision and move the work and infrastructure forward to allow for the company to scale. -Leadership lacks commitment and authenticity regarding people and talent initiatives. -Company operates as a startup and creates its own chaos due to lack of standardization of even the basic policies -Lack of courage as leaders and employees operate with a lack of integrity and honesty and continue to pull the wool over the CEO's eyes with regards to ability to execute. -Paralysis analysis with endless power points, frameworks and data lakes that are reviewed endlessly creating slow and painful death by a thousand cuts and inhibits ability for tams to make progress. -Lack of ownership and accountability of senior leadership.

Pros

Competitive pay — Compensation is solid compared to industry averages. • Pockets of good people — There are teams with genuinely decent, hardworking individuals trying to do the right thing. • Occasional bright spots — A few groups operate professionally despite the broader culture.

Cons

Retaliation everywhere — Speak up and you’re targeted. • Fabricated reviews — Feedback is made up to justify punishment. • Toxic cliques — Closed circles run the place and crush anyone outside them. • Hostile leadership — Belittling and aggression are normalized. • Politics over skill — Competence is irrelevant; alliances decide everything. • Fear‑driven culture — Employees stay silent because retaliation is guaranteed. • Hypocrisy everywhere — You’re excluded, then blamed for not being involved. • Values are a façade — The company talks integrity but operates on intimidation.
