Vantaggi

There are some genuine great people that work at UL Solutions which makes leaving this bad review tough. Unfortunately they are not given the time or opportunity to thrive due to management tribalism.

Svantaggi

Buying companies with no strategy and have no idea what to do with them. Disinterested management team that don't seem to care about the products or clients. There seems to be no drive to improve. Epitomised by their outdated software solutions. Happy to sell incomplete products that don't work. A "Ship it how it is, get the client to pay for the development and sell it back to them" mindset. Stuck in a 00's mindset. Including the internal and external processes. Toxic work environment. Gaslighting is rife. Managers that don't know what they're doing and are out of their depth with little to no true skills in their supposed area of expertise. Therefore there is no guidance when the going gets tough. They are order givers, not leaders. Expected to work outrageous hours due to lack of any cohesive process. You'll be made to feel like you're crazy for challenging the status quo. Dare question people and you will be made an example of. People happy to collect their pay checks, don't care about service or delivery. Don't even think about highlighting issues, they don't want to know, this would mean they'd have to do something. Great company if you like anxiety.

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.
