Pros

There are some genuine great people that work at UL Solutions which makes leaving this bad review tough. Unfortunately they are not given the time or opportunity to thrive due to management tribalism.

Cons

Buying companies with no strategy and have no idea what to do with them. Disinterested management team that don't seem to care about the products or clients. There seems to be no drive to improve. Epitomised by their outdated software solutions. Happy to sell incomplete products that don't work. A "Ship it how it is, get the client to pay for the development and sell it back to them" mindset. Stuck in a 00's mindset. Including the internal and external processes. Toxic work environment. Gaslighting is rife. Managers that don't know what they're doing and are out of their depth with little to no true skills in their supposed area of expertise. Therefore there is no guidance when the going gets tough. They are order givers, not leaders. Expected to work outrageous hours due to lack of any cohesive process. You'll be made to feel like you're crazy for challenging the status quo. Dare question people and you will be made an example of. People happy to collect their pay checks, don't care about service or delivery. Don't even think about highlighting issues, they don't want to know, this would mean they'd have to do something. Great company if you like anxiety.
