Only Coffee, water, and tea is provided - Majority of Senior Management do not have experience working at other companies - A lot of rules for security purposes.

UL Solutions Response

One of the unique things about working at UL Solutions is that we get to see new products before they hit the market. Our customers are some of the biggest and most beloved brands, and they trust us to keep their new products in a secure environment to ensure confidentiality until their products officially launch. This requires our labs and lab employees to work under strict guidelines, like keeping belongings secured. For those working in our labs, that work is hands-on testing, requiring employees to be onsite five days a week to run those crucial safety tests. Across the organization, we have some roles that are fully remote and many others that are hybrid. Just like other organizations, our service offerings are vast and range from relatively simple to highly complex, with job requirements and compensation in line with each position.

Pros

- Mission - Work life balance - Pay - Modernization of the workplace

Cons

- Every year benefits are reduced with terrible and tone deaf justifications. - Added benefits tend only to benefit new employees. - Perception that the company does not value long term employees (suspension of defined benefit program) - Poor ESPP discount - Lack of transparency on how AEIP bonus is calculated - Workflow tools are still extremely cumbersome after years of promises to fix them - Lack of enforcement of hybrid work policy. Many people never come in and are never spoken to about it.
