Pros

None. This company was exactly what you would think of when you talk about offshore contracting vs full time US based employees.

Cons

This is the worst company I've ever worked for. My team was offloaded from our previous company to UST Global as contractors for the positions we already had. The initial promises were great, but it was obviously just so employees wouldn't jump ship immediately. They are absolutely ONLY driven by money. No care for their employees. The benefits are standard; they actively removed many of my team members who were outstanding workers and people, with people who knew nothing about our business but were obviously paid much less. This includes myself. A terrible company and the epitome of what you don't want as an employee. When I was laid off after coming back from short term disability. The very day I came back, I was dismissed. They offered 30 days of pay to match my position but their internal job board was horrible to work with. No one to ask for help and even though there were 1,700+ jobs 'open'. Most I applied for were just placeholders for someone else AND only about 200 jobs were based in the US.

Pros

I have been associated with UST for almost 12 years, starting my journey as a Tester and currently serving as a Senior Project Manager. Looking back, the growth opportunities provided by the organization have been remarkable. One of the biggest strengths of UST is its people-first culture. The leadership team is approachable, supportive, and genuinely invested in employee success. Throughout my career, I have received continuous encouragement to take on new responsibilities, learn new skills, and move into leadership roles. The company places significant emphasis on employee well-being, work-life balance, and professional development. I have had opportunities to work across different domains, engage with global clients, and grow both technically and managerially. What makes UST special is the trust it places in its employees and the collaborative culture that exists across teams. It’s a place where dedication and performance are recognized, and individuals are given opportunities to shape their own career paths

Cons

As with any large organization, some processes could be streamlined for faster decision-making.
