Pros

A flexible employer and a nice bunch of colleagues. Compensation wise they are pretty reasonable for the market and have some good benefits To some extent there isn’t a great pressure or urgency so it means work/ life balance is good Lots of focus on safety and freebies to boot Training is built in to the employee handbook and there UL University which is fantastic.

Cons

There’s constant change and UL Software seems to be suffering a lot with this. Too much work to do, but too unstructured and chaotic to know how to solve it. The change of President to the division is refreshing. She has the right ideas and strategy but worry the layer after isn’t able to execute the plan. Attitudes of some of staff from the acquired companies are resistant to change and hold back progress.

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.
