Vantaggi

Team members at the same level as you

Svantaggi

Avoid at all costs. In the last 2 years, they’ve gone through 2 HUGE rounds of re-org, causing lots of people to be laid off. Basically just know that every time a Senior manager or above management executive is hired, the answer to all their problems seems to be a re-org (they just want to show that change = good but that couldn’t be further from what actually happened) Rather than listening to employees, 4-5 people meet and decide what the best operating model is. Constant re-org & layoffs have really hurt this company. I would be cautious. It’s a good place to start your career but be prepared for things like this to be regular. Very unpredictable company. Avoid.

UL Solutions grew from a not-for-profit entity to a for-profit entity in 2012. For the last decade we have made a massive transition towards being a for-profit entity and aligning the business to support this growth. We want to change thoughtfully and bring more perspectives into those decisions. Thank you for this feedback.

Vantaggi

- The team is great. Both morning and night shift tend to interact well and joke. Both teams know the importance of time and place meaning they take work seriously but also have fun. - Manager of the department is really cool and is a team leader. Really cares for the team - Good job to gain experience

Svantaggi

- Peak season is a drag. 72hr weeks for ~11 weeks really takes a toll, and upper management doesn't really do anything to help. - The pay isn't all that great compared to other engineers in the Bay Area. - Certification testing follows the procedures of the client and regulatory agencies. There isn't much room to express creative thought. Mundane work. - Regional Manager doesn't have the interest of the employees, only of the client. Regional would go to the meeting as a yes man to the client without consulting the engineering leads. - Ever since UL Solutions went public, it doesn't feel like a safety company. They care more about how much money they can make or save than about the safety of the consumer product.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your thoughts. We are happy to hear that you work in a positive team environment where you feel cared about and that you have been able to gain positive experience. We understand that some may encounter longer working hours, especially during peak periods tied to customer deadlines. Although these situations are time‑limited and part of real project demands, we recognize that extended hours can be challenging and are not something we want to become the norm. We are actively exploring ways to better balance workload expectations, provide clearer guidance around work hours, and ensure managers have the tools to support healthy work practices. We appreciate this feedback.
