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

The work is interesting. Some decent travel is available if desired. If you work hard and set yourself apart from others you can earn a promotion.

Cons

It’s all about who you know. All responsibilities fall on Engineering. Engineering does much more than “engineer” and spend too much time on stuff that admin staff “should be able” to do. When something needs to change the usual solution is to have Engineers be responsible for it because many non-engineers can’t handle mediocre tasks.
