Pros

Some of your coworkers are nice.

Cons

Imagine you have worked for a company for 25 years and then getting added to a call with 15 other people. The person who you have only talked to once joins the call and reads a 4 minute script informing you that everyone on the call is fired. This happened to 15 people at UL's product management team today. I'd highly suggest working for any other company. The layoffs made no sense either with one product manager being laid off who was going to replace a retiring product manager in 3 months. Did leadership take that into account? Of course not!

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.
