UL Solutions no longer cares for employees after going public

Pros

Direct team Direct manager Customers I work with

Cons

-Massive reduction in benefits and yet corporate somehow “spins it” to sound like a good move -I’ve been here over 10 years and I no longer recommend UL to my friends and family. -Exec team SOLELY cares about profits and delivering “shareholder value”. They talk about caring about employees and then turn right around and cut as many benefits as possible for employees. -Mark my words, a corporate response will be made to this comment gas lighting me, the employee, about how I am wrong and these are good changes. -oh and all of these cost saving measures are happening while we have yet another “record quarter” for profits. -Meanwhile no employees under director level received any stock options from the IPO. Even those of us who have been around for 10+ years and made this company what it is today.

Pros

Remote work available for some positions. Colleagues are some of the smartest people I’ve ever met.

Cons

The company recently announced they are cutting bonuses for lower level employees but they aren’t providing equal base pay increases, so it’s essentially a pay cut. To do this at a time when the labor market is so competitive and inflation is at a 40-year high feels like a major red flag. Especially considering UL is consistently profitable. Outside of the compensation issues, there seems to be a lack of stability in a lot of divisions as the company is going through a reorganization. There have also been quite a few recent leadership departures which is concerning.

Backstabbing and politics

Pros

Company has a strong mission with lots of potential. Was at one time a great place to work...

Cons

Some of the business leaders are incompetent and are only able to stay in their positions because they are very skilled at deflecting blame onto their subordinates and are not held accountable by senior leadership. Also another big problem is legacy employees with no skills have been promoted to leadership positions and have no business being there. In general there needs to be more accountability for the senior leaders and changes made to put people with skills and talent in those roles.
