Pros

Lots of kind people at the regular employee level, could be a good career stepping stone while the name is still respected.

Cons

Regular Mass Layoffs, Way Below Market Compensation, No Opportunities for Advancement, Understaffing, Incompetent Middle Management. Been employed by UL for a few years and the only constant is mass layoffs, absent or incompetent middle management, and laughable raises. The only reward for being good at your job is watching your colleagues get laid off and having to do their work. I've seen teams of 5-10 people get reduced to 1 and middle management only reaches out to ask why revenue isn't going up. It has gotten past the point of no return and when people are getting laid off their responsibilities and knowledge of process aren't being recorded or transferred to remaining employees, leaving massive organizational gaps. Upper management only seems concerned with building a house of cards for the IPO.

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.
