Pros

The engineers are great and very customer focused.

Cons

The structure at UL is very management heavy. If you have heard of the book "Bullsh*t Jobs" most of the managers are task masters. We go to meetings but ultimately the senior leadership puts in more obstacles for the engineers to get things done. There is a process change every year because management doesn't know how engineers do their job, and think that they know.

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.
