UL Solutions reviews

There is a new culture of "young is better" coming through. Old timers are getting squeezed out along with all their institutional knowledge. Benefits are being cut, return to the office is in full effect, promotion freezes (unless you are in the C-Suite), budget cuts, the 401 (k) has been revamped, and health insurance rates have increased by 40% for employees for 2026. Additionally, a mass layoff occurred this week. All with an eye on the stock prices....the IPO will be the death of this company's employees. You will never move up, you will never get promoted. They mostly hire from outside for "key" positions. And when they don't know what to do, they reorganize and cut the workforce, and keep the same quotas. This is where your career comes to die...run away!

Regular Mass Layoffs, Way Below Market Compensation, No Opportunities for Advancement, Understaffing, Incompetent Middle Management. Been employed by UL for a few years and the only constant is mass layoffs, absent or incompetent middle management, and laughable raises. The only reward for being good at your job is watching your colleagues get laid off and having to do their work. I've seen teams of 5-10 people get reduced to 1 and middle management only reaches out to ask why revenue isn't going up. It has gotten past the point of no return and when people are getting laid off their responsibilities and knowledge of process aren't being recorded or transferred to remaining employees, leaving massive organizational gaps. Upper management only seems concerned with building a house of cards for the IPO.
