      Great place to work, but too many managers

      Pros

      As an engineer at UL, you have to be ready for a fast-paced environment. You're going to get a lot of individual projects that are entirely reliant on you. Most of them are fairly easy and you will have a lot of support from other engineers and people around you. You will get opportunities to work with many companies, and working at UL looks great on a resume. Even if you don't plan on staying long term, this is a great career builder and will give you valuable experience. Massive pros include hybrid work, laid back work environment, and great people.

      Cons

      Too many managers. Feels like there's about 2 managers to every 1 engineer. Most of the managers do nothing or have vague job titles. New systems are always being integrated and make it harder for engineers to do their jobs. Also, the CEO is out of touch with employees and nobody has any idea what her goal is for the company, or what any of the business buzzwords mean. Engineers are constantly being pushed to bring in more money. Turnover rate is very high and most engineers do not last longer than 5 years because they seek better pay and a more stable career path.

      Slow growth, heavily dependent on position.

      Pros

      Fairly relaxed environment, lots of material amenities and good benefits - gym on site, decent cafeteria, good healthcare options and employer contributions to HSA. Honest and open upper management with an enforced open door policy, good compensation for management. Recognition and value for degrees/certifications/experience. Awesome brand recognition and a genuinely important vision which they maintain. Overall knowledgeable IT staff. Some remote work options.

      Cons

      Typical excess of politics, constant layoffs based on said politics. Compensation for non-management positions is completely uncompetitive. Lack of recognition for experience without degrees/certifications, and salaries move so slow with so little growth as to reduce compared to inflation. Lots of folks who are entrenched in many divisions who have been at the company for 5-10+ years and will put in significant effort to prevent corporate change/improvement. Lots of folks who have been in a position forever and intend to stay that way - some staying so long as to die on the job from old age.

      Pros

      You can be entitled and lazy, but as long as you are in the click you can ride out a nice easy career. Especially if your Father worked there before you. It's a nice quasi governmental job with all the perks.

      Cons

      Sometimes newbies or outsiders think they are going to come in and save the world by changing the culture. To much inbreeding from the top down. Have lineage and you have the in road to entitlement.
