Excellent people to work with. Fun working and travelling. Great place to learn as a beginner engineer. Small teams make teams close.

Pros

company is low pressure and enjoys huge respect and strong brand recognition. nice benefits package in spite the non-for-profit status. several locations in the US and around the world gives flexibility and career opportunities. \

Cons

Stable business but lacks the kick to be really relevant to clients. Too much bureaucratic and not as business oriented as it could be.

Pros

UL affords a great work/life balance. Flexible schedule with the ability to occasionally work from home makes it easy to balance responsibilities at home with those at work. Coworkers are genuinely friendly and easy to get along with, even those in management. Used to be a monopoly in the industry until newer companies caught them sleeping and took away market share. Now they seem to have their act together in terms of future goals and planning to regain market share. Your day to day work, though monotonous, helps protect consumers from unsafe products.

Cons

Change, Change, Change. As I said, UL is working hard to regain market share while branching into new markets. Oftentimes, this means changing things just for the sake of changing. Many ideas get implemented without thoroughly thinking through the immediate impact, and many ideas get abandoned within a few weeks. Seems like every few weeks, there is a complete retooling of work flow processes and systems. On a day to day level, work can become monotonous. For engineers, not much technical skill is required (though communication skills and ability to explain technical concepts are very important, which is a pro). Hard to figure out the basis for promotions and raises. Salary is on the lower end of the industry average.
