Honestly CFN has been the best job of my life. Despite the acquisition of LPL I still think my direct manager is very supportive and there for our team. The work life balance (for now) is still great. My WFH days to help a lot. Even though some people feel bearish of the future of CFN I remain a bit hopeful. I truly hope LPL does allow us to remain a separate subsidiary permanently as our culture is quite unique. So far the M&A has not been too bad on us and in my opinion things are leaning toward the positive.
Cons
LPL acquisition should have never happened . Certain tenured folks have favoritism which is inappropriate
Management and higher ups are ruthless. They simply do not care about you. This company axed 5 contractors within 6 weeks. They lied about the workload decreasing as an excuse to let us all go.
