Pros

Benefits are fair, hybrid workplace, bonus depending on performance

Cons

Employees are now treated as mere numbers, pressure from management is too much, increase almost never happens, lay-off here and there. There is a revolving door of employees. CEO and leadership are very out of touch

UL Solutions Response

Like so many organizations, UL Solutions has gone through accelerated change to adapt to the market needs. In addition, in 2012 we transitioned from a not-for-profit entity and have needed to make changes to the business to align to this change. We have engagement surveys, pulse surveys, town hall Q&A, CEO briefings and more to communicate directly with employees. Thank you for sharing this feedback.

Just a Facade

Pros

They have a solid mission that has held up for over 100 years.

Cons

They put on a VERY good ’show’ of appearances as a forward paced organization however once you’re in and I mean like day one, you realize how horribly disorganized the entire organization is. I was shocked at the lack of accountability for mismanagement of people, processes, and business finances. Company invested substantially in office remodeling and new Chicago Loop office in excess to a level of irresistible financial spending. If you want to step back in time 20 years for a retro technology experience, this is the place! Systems are so outdated that it is like going back in time when things took months to get completed or fixed. That’s their normal here and they (many with 15-30 year tenure) seem to be okay with it. Complacency is a common employee performance description. They, seem to be okay with that also. Upper management and executives are embarrassingly inexperienced in their roles. Also a big facade on the diversity front. Female CEO and that’s about it! Don’t get fooled by the facade. Pass this one up, it is not a career growth opportunity.

Failure to Plan

Recommend

Pros

Timely compensation, work life balance

Cons

UL and managements failure to plan becomes your problem. Tools and procedures have been eroded. Employee benefits eroded. The communication at this company is incredibly poor to non-existent. Embarrassing that this is a multi-billion dollar organization.
