Decent work with a purpose, outdated benefits and disconnected departments - Staff Engineer UL Solutions Employee Review

Pros

The work you do serves the general public with regards to safety. There are some opportunities for travel if you want them. Annual bonus is nice.

Cons

The PTO needs to be updated for senior employees - you get the same time off after 10 years as somebody that starts today. The company seems very siloed and disconnected, and departments fight over revenue ownership. Little to no advancement opportunities (besides a title change with the same basic responsibilities). Feels as if there is very little effort taken to keep employees, and seems they'd rather replace experience with somebody younger and willing to accept lower pay.

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.
