Interviewing with LPL to work internally in tech in partnership with their sales team- anyone have any insight into the company culture? Recently here they have unlimited PTO but is it actually a company that encourages work life balance?

I work there currently. I don’t have unlimited PTO so maybe that’s just that department? We are fully remote which deff helps with WLB. I don’t have any insight into their sales team so that might be a different ball game but I do have great benefits although the communications between teams can be difficult sometimes. Not bad though! I’d recommend looking through the reviews on Glassdoor, I think it just really depends on the department.

Four years! And yes in my experience they really push for development. A lot of the internal positions I’ve noticed though are a ton of AVP, VP, managerial roles. I’ve noticed that networking is super key here and especially to get you promoted or hired in other departments. Its really to get the advantage of applying for internal positions before they’re posted. I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it. This is also my first corp job though so I can’t really compare it to other companies. Over all it’s really not bad, and you get to put a big firm on your resume which will help in the long run! Ive deff seen an improvement over the years with company culture and our execs really listening to our feedback and what we want, so I’m sure it will continue to improve.

Everything I have heard has been positive. Very good culture, benefits, WLB

I have heard really good things about them. I had a friend who worked there and she said the culture and wlb are great. She also said the benefits are good.

I’ve been promoted with a title but not the responsibilities. I’m job searching and am primarily looking at postings that don’t include my promoted title — I’m not sure how to professionally articulate in an interview why I would be willing to take a “step down”. As I see it, I’m looking for a lateral move because I don’t actual have experience as a true “senior”.

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
