Pros

Colleagues are awesome, mostly willing to help and you feel like some people got your back technically.

Cons

Unfortunately, I felt like working at UL was like the movie Office Space. I had a manager who would have me document electronically why projects were not proceeding (usually waiting on samples or client information), but they would come to me at the beginning of each week asking for status updates. We also had department meetings that were meant to shame each other for longest projects, but I don't think they realized that we didn't care about the age of our teammates projects, we just didn't like being called out like little children.

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.
