Losing culture as a company

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The mission of the company and the fellow staff at the “worker” level are great.

Cons

The leadership of the company has lost its path, way too much executive overhead, yet drive “cost cutting” measures down to staff who actually do the real work. Taking away deals from staff (going to desk sharing spaces), recently cut pensions and 401k benefits, and no stock options for workers (only stock grants for executives). Once the CEO leaves the company might have a change at improvement again. I could t take it and had to leave.

UL Solutions continues to cover a majority of healthcare expenses while offering multiple coverage options for employees to receive care. Additionally, we offer a generous 401k match, paid volunteer time off, tuition reimbursement, employee stock purchase program and more. Our mission of working for a safer world remains unchanged.

Pros

Peers cared deeply for the troubles plaguing their coworkers.

Cons

The shift from Product and Customer Focus to Shareholder Value focus brought in stifle employee creativity, reward, job enjoyment, and growth opportunity. The new EVP brought over his friends from his former company to clean house of the positive environment, drove many quality employees to quit, and remove any opportunity for growth at the company. When a safety company is more focused on shareholder value of an IPO over their customers it is a sign of decline quality, value, and customer centricity.

Pros

…facilities are nice? Cafeteria is good?

Cons

Over worked and responsible for everything without any authority to get anything done. No way to get any assistance when you need it because everyone is looking out only for themselves.

UL Solutions Response

Thank you for sharing this perspective. As a reminder, we have multiple avenues for employees to receive assistance, including EAP, UL University, HR, the learning and development team, and more.
