UL Solutions reviews

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.

Avoid at all costs. In the last 2 years, they’ve gone through 2 HUGE rounds of re-org, causing lots of people to be laid off. Basically just know that every time a Senior manager or above management executive is hired, the answer to all their problems seems to be a re-org (they just want to show that change = good but that couldn’t be further from what actually happened) Rather than listening to employees, 4-5 people meet and decide what the best operating model is. Constant re-org & layoffs have really hurt this company. I would be cautious. It’s a good place to start your career but be prepared for things like this to be regular. Very unpredictable company. Avoid.
