Pros

If you are lazy, behind the times technically, don't want accountability, a lack of any modicum of process doesn't bother you & you want to roam the halls at the new buildings instead of focused work..LPL is the place for you!

Cons

Turnover in technology is the highest i've ever seen or heard of unless a failing company. CIO is a sales guy, not a delivery one. Offshore has taken over in lieu of strong technical management so the only thing lower than quality is delivery capabilities. Architecture...there is none. One big house of cards with DOL efforts piling on another stack

Pros

Growing Company. Large Client base. Seem to want to be at the cutting edge of financial innovation. Rank and file employees are loyal and professional.

Cons

Very political and cliquish. Difficult to advance. Many systems are out dated. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Very little colabaration between departments.
