Pros
Good work-life balance. Offer structured training programs.
Cons
Exceed KPI does not guarantee good bonus/increment.
Benefits are very standard, nothing extra.
Increment is little.
With a big team, progression is minimal to none.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your feedback and are glad to hear you felt that your work/life balance was respected in your time with us.
We have a structured performance management and career development program focused on employees and managers that is anchored by quarterly check-ins. We encourage our people to explore internal learning opportunities and to take advantage of the training currently offered. We truly want to help advance our people’s skillsets.
Our leadership and human resources are currently working on a large scale internal mobility initiative, allowing for more opportunities and awareness for advancement at UL Solutions.
The work is interesting. Some decent travel is available if desired. If you work hard and set yourself apart from others you can earn a promotion.
Cons
It’s all about who you know. All responsibilities fall on Engineering. Engineering does much more than “engineer” and spend too much time on stuff that admin staff “should be able” to do. When something needs to change the usual solution is to have Engineers be responsible for it because many non-engineers can’t handle mediocre tasks.
