UL Solutions Reviews

Pros

Great people and benefits. Relaxed work culture.

Cons

Bad management and salary. Not many promotion opportunities in the lab.

Pros

Plenty of time off, good starting salary. You can forget about work the second you leave.

Cons

Before if you don’t have a rabbi, anyone who is anyone will protect they’re own.

Pros

The headquarters has a nice first floor.

Cons

The CEO doesn't know how to unite leaders to support her plans. There's a strong passive aggressive culture that makes it difficult to move on just about anything. Leaders and employees all simply don't follow the new leadership that while fairly young seems to lean on an authoritarian type of leadership style. It's very odd. Not healthy. And their pay is awful. The leadership does not care AT ALL about a healthy work life balance. They know some are consistently working without sleep and others working an excessive amount of hours and don't seem to care.

Pros

The main benefit is the flexibility. Career opportunities used to be available, but this doesn't seem to be the case anymore for newer employees

Cons

No skill development; you'll get pigeonholed if you stay too long. I wish I had taken my experience at 5 years and left to go somewhere else, now I feel stuck The new CEO brought in a wave of new bureaucracies which makes the company feel like Office Space where you get 6 different managers nagging you if you forgot something

Pros

Globally known and respected Brand with a lot of regulatory pull. The company is extremely sticky making it stable during recessions. Pay is competitive with good benefits and bonus opportunities. An innovative company that invests in new solutions. The company does a lot of team-building to get to know your colleagues. Provides good equipment and tools to perform your daily tasks.

Cons

Company red tape ties employees' hands and adds to work friction. The onboarding process is short and throws you into the deep end quickly. Cross-team communication is poor and makes it hard to get things done. Leadership tends to point fingers and look for scapegoats. Management can be pushy with unrealistic expectations on turn times. The organization is large and confusing with many company-specific acronyms that take a long time to memorize.

Pros

Easy paced most of the time

Cons

Lack of work at times and doing the same thing over and over

Pros

People of exceptional knowledge from all over the world.

Cons

Very stuck in the past... trying to be current... but... not yet. Don't try so hard to be "diverse"... it will come with time. You send a message to white males that this is not the company for them.

Pros

great work environment, competitive salary.

Cons

none that I know of

Pros

My boss is great, my team is wonderful, I love the flexibility of working from home

Cons

They don't invest in their employees. We have to keep up to date with the everchanging world of legislation, but we can't go to the conferences and network with others in the industry. How can we learn?

Pros

Good work environment good coworkers

Cons

Not the best work life balance at times
