I am paid on schedule and in accordance with the agreements outlined at the time I was hired. There are annual cost of living increases.
Cons
Zero opportunity for advancement. In renewables, the number of people I have seen elevated could be counted on one hand. The primary skill rewarded is the ability to extract yourself from a client related morass.

Thank you for your review and the time you have spent as an engineer at UL Solutions. We are pleased to hear our compensation program has met your expectations. In addition to our performance based merit increases, you and all full time employees are eligible for our annual performance bonus program and 401(k) plan.
Customer Centricity is truly one of our core values at UL Solutions. We strive to deliver unique value with empathy, solving customer problems and needs with our technical and scientific expertise. Career growth is equally important to us. Our quarterly Navigate My Career check-ins with your manager are there to help foster conversations about career aspirations and avenues for growth. Admittedly Renewables is a more niche area, meaning opportunities may not be quite as abundant versus other operating units. We are excited we have new executive leadership focused on growing our niche businesses, creating more opportunities for advancement.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your review; we appreciate the time you have spent with UL Solutions!
The work is interesting. Some decent travel is available if desired. If you work hard and set yourself apart from others you can earn a promotion.
Cons
It’s all about who you know. All responsibilities fall on Engineering. Engineering does much more than “engineer” and spend too much time on stuff that admin staff “should be able” to do. When something needs to change the usual solution is to have Engineers be responsible for it because many non-engineers can’t handle mediocre tasks.
