Pros

During some slow seasons you will have free time if you're remote thats nice

Cons

No room for growth Cheap company, will offer low low low wages and you really have to fight to get a couple more dollars but I couldnt get them to budge much. they post very vague positions, mine was titled "lab associate 2" so it can be very misleading? I only knew it was procurement because a friend of mine told me about the job. But they basically will give you whatever role they need. I was a contracted worker so UST highered me to do work at intel. which meant I was doing intel work with intel employees while getting paid a horrible wage at a third party company. thanks intel. weird green and blue badge situations good job to have remote, low stress but no room for growth

Pros

The company is already shifting from services to products and platforms business, with the CEO driving the change directly. This transition is visible and is steep. The upside to this transformation is the company already creating meaningful opportunities for people to grow new skills and take on more strategic and value-added work. The key is to lean in and make full use of the resources available, including client universities, hack-a-thons, ideathons, and skill transformation programs, to stay ahead. For internal talent, the opportunities in product, platform development, and consulting are abundant, across both existing offerings and new solutions.

Cons

the organization is going through a painful transition unlike anything it has experienced in its 26-year history; while this change is necessary to win in the market, stronger support through the transition is an area where the company can improve and focus.

Thank you for such a thoughtful perspective. It’s encouraging to hear that the shift toward a product and platform-led organization is visible and creating meaningful opportunities for our USsociates to build new skills and take on more strategic work. Enabling this kind of growth is a key priority for us, and we’re glad to see the impact of initiatives like learning programs, ideathons, and hackathons coming through. We also recognize that transitions can be challenging, and providing support through the journey remains a priority. Your point on staying grounded in UST’s values truly resonates. Our values of humanity, humility and integrity continue to guide us as we evolve. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
