Shares for Executives NOTHING for Employees

Pros

Being an executive at UL! It's always great to work for company where the employees are not rewarded while the executives shower themselves with company shares now that it's gone public. Executives received thousands of stock options worth millions of dollars while employees got NOTHING!

Cons

There are no cons for executives! They only care about fleecing the company!

There are many benefits to being a publicly traded company for employees. Being publicly traded allows UL Solutions to raise capital to grow and with growth comes new career opportunities for colleagues in multiple areas of the company. UL Solutions has increased visibility and plans to expand the scale and reach of our business worldwide. An employee stock purchase plan is a benefit being rolled out over time subject to local laws and regulations. This is an exciting time to be a part of UL Solutions. It is a common practice to incentivize senior leadership during key company milestones to ensure the company’s successful growth.

Pros

Common disdain for middle management and upper management, which leads to fun camaraderie amongst the employees.

Cons

No business directions, no goals, and a very thick layer of middle management that is extremely incompetent. They don’t know how to run a software company. Some of the worst communications of any organization I’ve ever seen. Slow processes, endless pointless discussions and new initiatives that always end in deadends. Uninspiring leadership - they’re really just upper management. The CEO is clueless and it’s very surprising that she’s still the CEO. Just a very bad organization to work for.

Top-heavy management disaster

Pros

Engaging work, on paper the mission of the company is good

Cons

Every few months we either get a new manager in the chain, or the chain is rearranged. Significant management are all external hires that do not understand our workflow or even what we do. You can't sail to an island if your captain doesn't k ow what an island is.
