Pros

Important values and excellent culture. Management is approachable. Freedom to build your internal business, heavy investment in education and training, and opportunity for growth.

Cons

Difficult to recruit talent with 15 days of vacation when many employers are offering 21+. Health plan is high-deductible (a common prescription went from $30 to $280 per month from my prior employer) so negotiate a much higher salary to prepare for that.

Thank you for highlighting what makes UL such a great place to work: amazing culture, supportive managers, and commitment to employees' professional development. When it comes to total rewards, our benefits team benchmarks yearly to ensure we're competitive, and in fact, our overall benefits package offers more affordability and flexibility than our industry peers. You'll be pleased to know that in 2020, UL is increasing vacation time for a portion of our salaried employees. Also, on top of vacation days, we offer company holidays, floating holidays, paid sick leave, 2 paid volunteer days, and other leave benefits such as paid parental bonding. All in all, UL does a tremendous job of keeping employees' overall well-being in mind. Thanks again for your feedback!

Pros

WFH policy and great coworkers.

Cons

Role eliminated while executives and higher-ups spend ridiculous amounts of money on travel to "conferences", while transitioning the team to all contract/external employees to alleviate "budgeting" costs. Leaders continue to appease to higher-ups and C-level executives without a care or understanding of current team dynamics to protect themselves in a cutthroat and toxic environment filled with corporate politics. 0 growth for internal designers at below market salaries (20-25%) and below average benefits- when mentioned to leaders, profits are increasing YOY, yet the discussion becomes a "let's circle back" while 10+ contractors are immediately brought on board.
