Pros

I am paid on schedule and in accordance with the agreements outlined at the time I was hired. There are annual cost of living increases.

Cons

Zero opportunity for advancement. In renewables, the number of people I have seen elevated could be counted on one hand. The primary skill rewarded is the ability to extract yourself from a client related morass.

Thank you for your review and the time you have spent as an engineer at UL Solutions. We are pleased to hear our compensation program has met your expectations. In addition to our performance based merit increases, you and all full time employees are eligible for our annual performance bonus program and 401(k) plan. Customer Centricity is truly one of our core values at UL Solutions. We strive to deliver unique value with empathy, solving customer problems and needs with our technical and scientific expertise. Career growth is equally important to us. Our quarterly Navigate My Career check-ins with your manager are there to help foster conversations about career aspirations and avenues for growth. Admittedly Renewables is a more niche area, meaning opportunities may not be quite as abundant versus other operating units. We are excited we have new executive leadership focused on growing our niche businesses, creating more opportunities for advancement. Thank you again for taking the time to share your review; we appreciate the time you have spent with UL Solutions!

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.
