Pros

Overall the work is rewarding. Benefit package is very good for a company of UL's size. Co-workers are extremely supportive & cooperative. A good place to start your career.

Cons

UL is infested with nepotism & cronyism. Company has been "in transformation" for years, with no end in sight. Day to day work is micro-managed. Computer systems are antiquated. More Operating Procedures than one can keep track of. Middle management obsessed with revenue. Upper management focused on golf tournaments and photo ops.

Pros

The working environment is pretty good as your colleagues are mix of international and Dutch. They are quite friendly.

Cons

Way below-average salary. For PhDs, they offer 3K monthly, which you at least get 3.5K else where. You have to perform testing task, which is extremely boring.

Pros

Collaboration with other engineers, technicians, and customers is likely the only remaining positive aspect of working at the company, providing meaningful professional interaction and problem-solving despite broader organizational challenges.

Cons

The company’s top leadership continues to enrich itself while disregarding the well-being and intelligence of its employees. Retirement matching contributions have been reduced, pensions frozen, vacation carryover sharply restricted, health insurance costs substantially increased, annual raise pools kept consistently insufficient, and employee bonuses cut—resulting in stagnant or reduced total compensation for the workforce. Meanwhile, the CEO and executive leadership continue to receive substantial stock awards, bonuses, and compensation that includes personal-expense-related benefits. Compounding these harms, leadership routinely attempts to reframe cuts to employee benefits as being “for employees’ own good,” treating the workforce as though it is incapable of recognizing the direct financial damage these decisions cause. Employees have repeatedly raised these concerns through internal surveys, yet leadership has consistently ignored this feedback. This combination of dismissiveness, misrepresentation, and disproportionate executive enrichment reflects a systemic imbalance of power and priorities that urgently demands intervention and stronger labor protections. In the absence of responsive and accountable leadership, workers must be empowered to organize and unionize to protect their interests, benefits, dignity, and long-term financial security.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We know change can be difficult, and we understand that not everyone will agree with every decision. As the company continues to evolve as a public organization, we have made updates to our programs and benefits with a focus on long-term sustainability and consistency. We appreciate hearing different points of view and encourage employees to share concerns through our internal channels so they can be reviewed and addressed.
