Pros

Important values and excellent culture. Management is approachable. Freedom to build your internal business, heavy investment in education and training, and opportunity for growth.

Cons

Difficult to recruit talent with 15 days of vacation when many employers are offering 21+. Health plan is high-deductible (a common prescription went from $30 to $280 per month from my prior employer) so negotiate a much higher salary to prepare for that.

Thank you for highlighting what makes UL such a great place to work: amazing culture, supportive managers, and commitment to employees' professional development. When it comes to total rewards, our benefits team benchmarks yearly to ensure we're competitive, and in fact, our overall benefits package offers more affordability and flexibility than our industry peers. You'll be pleased to know that in 2020, UL is increasing vacation time for a portion of our salaried employees. Also, on top of vacation days, we offer company holidays, floating holidays, paid sick leave, 2 paid volunteer days, and other leave benefits such as paid parental bonding. All in all, UL does a tremendous job of keeping employees' overall well-being in mind. Thanks again for your feedback!

Pros

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.
