Pros

The engineers are great and very customer focused.

Cons

The structure at UL is very management heavy. If you have heard of the book "Bullsh*t Jobs" most of the managers are task masters. We go to meetings but ultimately the senior leadership puts in more obstacles for the engineers to get things done. There is a process change every year because management doesn't know how engineers do their job, and think that they know.

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.
