Pros

Flexible Schedule. Travel is available depending on the industry you work in. Reasonably comfortable environment. Facility has health/fitness room and grounds have walking paths and various courts. Cafeteria food is not that bad so no need to leave campus everyday for lunch unless you want to get out offsite for a break.

Cons

Company preaches pay for performance but does not reward. Low pay for experience. As a senior member of the engineering staff I feel I have a target on my back as one of the "higher paid" salary staff even though my salary is low compared to other companies in the Chicago area based on my experience level.

Pros

UL solution was my first office job and engineering experience. It did not disappoint, and got me excited for my future, The HR and hiring team were all so nice and helpful throughout my internship. My managers were helpful, patient, and understanding when I had a family emergency near the end of my internship that forced me to leave the country temporary. The internship showed the various departments in the company, not just the one we had applied for. Would definitely recommend anyone to apply for them.

Cons

UL solutions is focused in certifications and safety, so if you are expecting projects involving development and design this is not the place, We had to do a breakdown on products and perform tests to ensure it meets standards of safety.
