Pros

Direct team Direct manager Customers I work with

Cons

-Massive reduction in benefits and yet corporate somehow “spins it” to sound like a good move -I’ve been here over 10 years and I no longer recommend UL to my friends and family. -Exec team SOLELY cares about profits and delivering “shareholder value”. They talk about caring about employees and then turn right around and cut as many benefits as possible for employees. -Mark my words, a corporate response will be made to this comment gas lighting me, the employee, about how I am wrong and these are good changes. -oh and all of these cost saving measures are happening while we have yet another “record quarter” for profits. -Meanwhile no employees under director level received any stock options from the IPO. Even those of us who have been around for 10+ years and made this company what it is today.

Pros

- The team is great. Both morning and night shift tend to interact well and joke. Both teams know the importance of time and place meaning they take work seriously but also have fun. - Manager of the department is really cool and is a team leader. Really cares for the team - Good job to gain experience

Cons

- Peak season is a drag. 72hr weeks for ~11 weeks really takes a toll, and upper management doesn't really do anything to help. - The pay isn't all that great compared to other engineers in the Bay Area. - Certification testing follows the procedures of the client and regulatory agencies. There isn't much room to express creative thought. Mundane work. - Regional Manager doesn't have the interest of the employees, only of the client. Regional would go to the meeting as a yes man to the client without consulting the engineering leads. - Ever since UL Solutions went public, it doesn't feel like a safety company. They care more about how much money they can make or save than about the safety of the consumer product.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your thoughts. We are happy to hear that you work in a positive team environment where you feel cared about and that you have been able to gain positive experience. We understand that some may encounter longer working hours, especially during peak periods tied to customer deadlines. Although these situations are time‑limited and part of real project demands, we recognize that extended hours can be challenging and are not something we want to become the norm. We are actively exploring ways to better balance workload expectations, provide clearer guidance around work hours, and ensure managers have the tools to support healthy work practices. We appreciate this feedback.
