Pros

Decent pay and bonuses. (but once you've lasted about 10 years, you have to take a hit to leave) Decent health care plans and HSA matching Recently adjusted their work at home and maternity/paternity policies, very generous.

Cons

Upper management talks a good talk, likes ribbon cutting and publicity when counterfeit products are found, but mainly focus figuring out how to continue restructure into a public company and cash out. Most middle management knows nothing about the products and industries they serve. Very top heavy. Maybe a 5-1 or 4-1 ratio of employees who actually support product certification and other revenue generating activities, armies of project managers, consultants, trainers, middle managers. Likes to talk about "one UL", but as soon as talk goes to resources or planning, it's "not my job" or "not out of my budget"

Pros

UL solution was my first office job and engineering experience. It did not disappoint, and got me excited for my future, The HR and hiring team were all so nice and helpful throughout my internship. My managers were helpful, patient, and understanding when I had a family emergency near the end of my internship that forced me to leave the country temporary. The internship showed the various departments in the company, not just the one we had applied for. Would definitely recommend anyone to apply for them.

Cons

UL solutions is focused in certifications and safety, so if you are expecting projects involving development and design this is not the place, We had to do a breakdown on products and perform tests to ensure it meets standards of safety.

Pros

Strong brand reputation and credibility in the marketplace. Excellent opportunity to gain experience in sales, compliance, testing, certification, and regulatory industries. Friendly, knowledgeable, and collaborative colleagues who are willing to help each other succeed. Good work-life balance compared to many sales organizations. Stable business with diverse industries and customers. Professional development opportunities and exposure to complex customer challenges.

Cons

Typical large-company bureaucracy can slow decision-making and execution. Internal processes and approvals may require patience and persistence. Organizational complexity can sometimes create challenges when navigating cross-functional initiatives. Career progression may occasionally depend on understanding and adapting to corporate dynamics.
