Pros

The engineers were nice. Other than that, for a period of time, you could get gelatos from the cafeteria every other Tuesday from 2:00PM to 2:15PM.

Cons

The managers, three of which they ran through during my one year there, were not qualified to be security engineering managers. Very much a waterfall mentality. No real growth mindset, or appropriate ways of growing a team. For security engineering and research, getting industry training was awful and almost non-existent

Co-workers, great cafeteria, and beautiful lake.

Cons

Low salary, fast-paced (very toxic environment/so much pressure to meet/exceed sales), poor management coordination (they do not care about employees, only billing projects)

Pros

Everyone is very helpful but if your not part of the global team your invisible.

Cons

Upper management is only concerned with the bottom line, orders. They should be looking at revenue per output. I have no idea how this company has stayed in business so long working like this. Smaller business would die on this type of momentum. They are constantly trying to figure out how to keep their employees. Survey after survey yet they do very little about what they receive. If they are looking to keep employees it may be best to offer more than 10 days vacation. It is very hard for those who do not live by family to see them at all if you work at UL and only have a few days vacation. Most companies are offering 3 -4 weeks vacation per year. Some flexibility and working from home would be an eye catcher, too.

Thank you for the valuable work you do as an Inside Sales Rep! On top of our vacation policy, we also offer incidental absent time (sick days), paid holidays, two “floating” holidays, as well as two paid work days to volunteer. Also, UL does have a flexible working policy that allows for some work-from-home scenarios for eligible roles, depending on the nature of the job.
