Pros

Great brand recognition and unique position in the market. It's a mission-driven organization with great potential

Cons

The company is organized very vertically and decision-making is absolutely top-down: your manager is always right and going over him/her during a disagreement is very poorly perceived. In addition, the management is clearly playing favorites: you're either in the circle, will be given all the opportunities, and will get away with murder when you mess up, or out of it and will be treated as a commodity.

Pros

Some of your coworkers are nice.

Cons

Imagine you have worked for a company for 25 years and then getting added to a call with 15 other people. The person who you have only talked to once joins the call and reads a 4 minute script informing you that everyone on the call is fired. This happened to 15 people at UL's product management team today. I'd highly suggest working for any other company. The layoffs made no sense either with one product manager being laid off who was going to replace a retiring product manager in 3 months. Did leadership take that into account? Of course not!

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective and for your years of service at UL Solutions. We are committed to treating all impacted colleagues with dignity and respect. We recognize this is a difficult message and that you may feel uncertainty, loss, and anger. This decision to engage in restructuring activity was difficult, but made after a thorough evaluation of the evolving market for our services, our cost structure and future investment priorities. Our goal is to position UL Solutions for high-quality growth and to continue our mission of working for a safer world for generations to come.

Pros

Maybe the 401k? Outside of that...nothing.

Cons

Doesn't even pay minimum market value for salary of my title when I am actually an architect and much more. Took 3 years for the company to actually issue me a laptop that is strong enough to do the daily duties of my job. I had to build my own computer against company policy and use it for over a year and a half because of their shoddy corporate IT department and simply not suppling adequate hardware to perform my job.
