Pros

Colleagues are awesome, mostly willing to help and you feel like some people got your back technically.

Cons

Unfortunately, I felt like working at UL was like the movie Office Space. I had a manager who would have me document electronically why projects were not proceeding (usually waiting on samples or client information), but they would come to me at the beginning of each week asking for status updates. We also had department meetings that were meant to shame each other for longest projects, but I don't think they realized that we didn't care about the age of our teammates projects, we just didn't like being called out like little children.

Pros

UL solution was my first office job and engineering experience. It did not disappoint, and got me excited for my future, The HR and hiring team were all so nice and helpful throughout my internship. My managers were helpful, patient, and understanding when I had a family emergency near the end of my internship that forced me to leave the country temporary. The internship showed the various departments in the company, not just the one we had applied for. Would definitely recommend anyone to apply for them.

Cons

UL solutions is focused in certifications and safety, so if you are expecting projects involving development and design this is not the place, We had to do a breakdown on products and perform tests to ensure it meets standards of safety.
