Pros

None that mean anything once you know the downside....

Cons

Too many to mention, but I try. If you like getting fired by SMS, work without reward 100 hours a week, spend 10 years of your life away from home and want to attend UL's global training programs on how to become someone else, this is the employer of choice. Yet if you search for an employer who invests in people, you best continue your search and go elsewhere.

Pros

Management is a political quagmire. Promotion occurs through smoke and mirrors and the old boys network

Cons

You are a commodity that can be consumed. Customers have no value

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.
