      God as my witness, HR does not care about you - Senior Project Manager UL Solutions Employee Review

      Pros

      Peers are good people to work with. Local leadership are great.

      Cons

      large layoff took place recently due to a change in sales model that damaged sales. Employees with the company 6+ years let go with a very restrictive non-compete and poor severance offer + mental health/job placement assistance. If you do not sign the non-compete. you don't get any of it. But here's the big issue, you are encouraged to have a lawyer read through and advise prior to signing. When the lawyers reach out to the UL contact you are provided, they take 2+ weeks to respond and when they do, they have no updates to share. UL offers the mental health assistance but you cannot access it until you sign the agreement the lawyer is reaching out about. No compassion and trying to get people to feel desperate enough to just sign and accept. Another issue: they state they will not push back on collecting unemployment but yet unemployment is not paying out yet...so UL HR has no problem hurting people, being responsible for damaged credit, and costing former loyal employees more and more $$$ in legal fees.

      Changing sales models, especially when those changes impact jobs, is not a decision any of our leaders take lightly. We are sorry that your experience left you feeling uncared for. After doing an extensive evaluation of our severance packages and layoff assistance in comparison to other employers in the area and in our industry, we find that our severance and related documents are fair and standard. We take your feedback seriously and if you would like to discuss your specific experience further, please email ethics@ul.com.

      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.
