Pros

Overall the work is rewarding. Benefit package is very good for a company of UL's size. Co-workers are extremely supportive & cooperative. A good place to start your career.

Cons

UL is infested with nepotism & cronyism. Company has been "in transformation" for years, with no end in sight. Day to day work is micro-managed. Computer systems are antiquated. More Operating Procedures than one can keep track of. Middle management obsessed with revenue. Upper management focused on golf tournaments and photo ops.

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.
