Pros
Lots of kind people at the regular employee level, could be a good career stepping stone while the name is still respected.
Cons
Regular Mass Layoffs, Way Below Market Compensation, No Opportunities for Advancement, Understaffing, Incompetent Middle Management. Been employed by UL for a few years and the only constant is mass layoffs, absent or incompetent middle management, and laughable raises. The only reward for being good at your job is watching your colleagues get laid off and having to do their work. I've seen teams of 5-10 people get reduced to 1 and middle management only reaches out to ask why revenue isn't going up. It has gotten past the point of no return and when people are getting laid off their responsibilities and knowledge of process aren't being recorded or transferred to remaining employees, leaving massive organizational gaps. Upper management only seems concerned with building a house of cards for the IPO.
