UL Solutions reviews

Princeton location is hard to get to. The commute can be an issue if you live further out. Some of the processes are cumbersome and manual. Some of the people are still clinging to older methods. There is lot internal politics in the division even though it is a smaller division and is mostly works independently.

The CEO is overly paternalistic and thinks everyone in the company hangs on every word that comes out of his mouth. Band-aid application of Lean Sigma in areas where it is not relevant. Innovation comes slowly because we are a dinosaur in the industry with few competitors. Middle management is only concerned with short term goals and not the big picture. Some lab technicians have much harder jobs than others and this is not recognized at any point in the organization. Work-life balance can be o.k. most of the time, but can be nonexistent at a moments notice. Ironically, the safety of the workers comes secondary to getting a job done with as few people and as quickly as possible.
