Pros

Highly skilled colleagues, fun to work together.

Cons

- Onboarding trainings a waste of time, irrelevant for job ("How to secure yourself while working in a chemical lab" and similar) - During hiring phase UL was said to put more focus on software strategy, but in reality they rather preferred manual (!) copying of information from word to excel and trained engineers (!) to do so.

Thanks for leaving us your thoughts. It is great to hear that you had fun working with us for a safer world. We have engagement surveys, pulse surveys, town hall Q&A, CEO briefings and more to communicate directly with employees. As a global company with employees in over 40 countries, sharing information is a balance between over-communicating and under-communicating. We appreciate that feedback.

Pros

- Mission - Work life balance - Pay - Modernization of the workplace

Cons

- Every year benefits are reduced with terrible and tone deaf justifications. - Added benefits tend only to benefit new employees. - Perception that the company does not value long term employees (suspension of defined benefit program) - Poor ESPP discount - Lack of transparency on how AEIP bonus is calculated - Workflow tools are still extremely cumbersome after years of promises to fix them - Lack of enforcement of hybrid work policy. Many people never come in and are never spoken to about it.
