Pros

Fantastic staff who care about making products safer and helping their clients succeed. Vacation allowance is good. UL still pays for staff to obtain Professional Engineers License. Lots of exposure to different technologies. Good stepping stone for new engineers.

Cons

Work is micromanaged from the top down. Staff are managed through fear. Continuous layoffs. UL was a family oriented company, but unfortunately is not so anymore. Work-life balance is poor.

Pros

- Mission - Work life balance - Pay - Modernization of the workplace

Cons

- Every year benefits are reduced with terrible and tone deaf justifications. - Added benefits tend only to benefit new employees. - Perception that the company does not value long term employees (suspension of defined benefit program) - Poor ESPP discount - Lack of transparency on how AEIP bonus is calculated - Workflow tools are still extremely cumbersome after years of promises to fix them - Lack of enforcement of hybrid work policy. Many people never come in and are never spoken to about it.
