Pros

A flexible employer and a nice bunch of colleagues. Compensation wise they are pretty reasonable for the market and have some good benefits To some extent there isn’t a great pressure or urgency so it means work/ life balance is good Lots of focus on safety and freebies to boot Training is built in to the employee handbook and there UL University which is fantastic.

Cons

There’s constant change and UL Software seems to be suffering a lot with this. Too much work to do, but too unstructured and chaotic to know how to solve it. The change of President to the division is refreshing. She has the right ideas and strategy but worry the layer after isn’t able to execute the plan. Attitudes of some of staff from the acquired companies are resistant to change and hold back progress.

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.
