I'd rather use an Unlisted toaster in the shower than work here

Pros

The people and mission are great

Cons

Leadership and strategic direction is amateurish. CEO won't retire, he spends maybe 2 days a month in the office. CFO won't cut costs in his own department, yet all other departments are cut to the bone. The only deliverable is a calendar full of meetings to talk about stuff that isn't getting done. Company runs hundreds of major projects at the same time with no clear focus or leadership.

C-Suite needs a C-Section

Pros

Going home at the end of each workday is the only benefit to working here. No leadership at the top. CEO distracted by all things Golf. C-Suite completely inept and dysfunctional. And they don't listen to advice from underlings.

Cons

Golf. Golf. Golf. All areas are cutting costs, while the company spends millions to sponsor female golf events. The only thing that female golf and safety testing have in common is millions of dollars. And now we have to beg to purchase pens and paper clips, and we are subjected to daily golf propaganda on our internal home page portal. We have become a golf company.

UL Solutions no longer cares for employees after going public

Pros

Direct team Direct manager Customers I work with

Cons

-Massive reduction in benefits and yet corporate somehow “spins it” to sound like a good move -I’ve been here over 10 years and I no longer recommend UL to my friends and family. -Exec team SOLELY cares about profits and delivering “shareholder value”. They talk about caring about employees and then turn right around and cut as many benefits as possible for employees. -Mark my words, a corporate response will be made to this comment gas lighting me, the employee, about how I am wrong and these are good changes. -oh and all of these cost saving measures are happening while we have yet another “record quarter” for profits. -Meanwhile no employees under director level received any stock options from the IPO. Even those of us who have been around for 10+ years and made this company what it is today.
