Pros

Important values and excellent culture. Management is approachable. Freedom to build your internal business, heavy investment in education and training, and opportunity for growth.

Cons

Difficult to recruit talent with 15 days of vacation when many employers are offering 21+. Health plan is high-deductible (a common prescription went from $30 to $280 per month from my prior employer) so negotiate a much higher salary to prepare for that.

Thank you for highlighting what makes UL such a great place to work: amazing culture, supportive managers, and commitment to employees' professional development. When it comes to total rewards, our benefits team benchmarks yearly to ensure we're competitive, and in fact, our overall benefits package offers more affordability and flexibility than our industry peers. You'll be pleased to know that in 2020, UL is increasing vacation time for a portion of our salaried employees. Also, on top of vacation days, we offer company holidays, floating holidays, paid sick leave, 2 paid volunteer days, and other leave benefits such as paid parental bonding. All in all, UL does a tremendous job of keeping employees' overall well-being in mind. Thanks again for your feedback!

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.
