Pros

Modern Technology Stack Flexible Work Hours

Cons

1. CEO Jenny Scanlon was hired about 2 years ago. She is an extreme leftist who is busy transforming UL from a once conservative company to a far left company. She regularly sends out email corporate wide praising the LGBT people and others such as, Barrack Obama, Pete Buttigeig. 2. CRT has been adopted at UL. If you are white according to UL you didn't earn your success in life but it was given to you by other white people. This couldn't be any more racist. 3. The CEO is transforming the company into a WOKE out and proud LGBTQ+ work force by hiring young people who are WOKE and putting them in leadership roles even though they have no experience. The heavy lifting at UL is done by contractors. The customers suffer due to the excessive cost of companies UL contracts with. 4. If you have no problem working across from a man dressed like a woman who has a 5 o'clock shadow, lipstick and skirt or if you are white and don't mind the lack of opportunity for promotion because that's going to the young and non-white employees then this is the place for you. Otherwise you should consider another company.

At UL, our focus on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is intended to empower our employees to bring their full and complete selves to work. We are proud to have people from various backgrounds and generations and who identify differently within our organization. As a global safety science leader, we are committed to our mission to create a safer world – and this includes psychological safety. As a result, we do not tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia or any other form of discrimination within our workplace. We have recently progressed our DEI journey through our 5-year commitments and have become much more intentional in our actions to advance equity. We have emphasized the importance of hiring for talent, skills and abilities first while ensuring our organization represents the communities where we serve and operate. Part of this journey requires many of us to manage our own biases and discomfort. We invite any UL employees who are struggling with this to participate in our DEI education series through UL University, engage with us directly in a sincere dialogue and/or reach out to your HR business advisor.
