Pros

Flexible schedule, great employees, and it's in a great location in San Jose. At the end of the day the job I do means something to the world.

Cons

Where to start???? Hmmm, lets see.......Senior Management cares only about Senior Management! Their bonuses are through the roof, while the employees who make all the money have very small bonuses (Paid for by freezing our raises for two yeasr). Perks are almost nonexistent for the typical employee, unless you consider "Dog Day" once a year a perk (Management cooks hot dogs for the employees to eat). There are no advancement opportunities, unless you are a expert "Ass Kisser", and when there are raises they don't keep up with the cost of inflation. UL is way too top heavy, and it seems they add to the Senior Management weekly!

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.
