Pros

Flexible schedule, great employees, and it's in a great location in San Jose. At the end of the day the job I do means something to the world.

Cons

Where to start???? Hmmm, lets see.......Senior Management cares only about Senior Management! Their bonuses are through the roof, while the employees who make all the money have very small bonuses (Paid for by freezing our raises for two yeasr). Perks are almost nonexistent for the typical employee, unless you consider "Dog Day" once a year a perk (Management cooks hot dogs for the employees to eat). There are no advancement opportunities, unless you are a expert "Ass Kisser", and when there are raises they don't keep up with the cost of inflation. UL is way too top heavy, and it seems they add to the Senior Management weekly!

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.
