Pros

Especially great training, good for folks early in their career who want to learn quickly.

Cons

Not for MBAs who are ambitious and want to own. Highly political, especially with friction between Global Brand teams and US Brand teams. Lots of work for work's sake. Very little autonomy to be innovative or creative. Senior leadership is almost all international. Very few Americans at the top.

Pros

Hard to find any pros now... nice new office with a view, Good products. Company store. Good stamp on the resume (I guess).

Cons

UL has lost its way. Used to be an exceptional company when it fundamentally was ethical, environmental and prioritized Customer and employee service. Its now clear that the company is being milked by the board for money. Layoffs, sketchy financial activity, disconnected leadership structures with no feedback loops. Office politics are rampant and you cant get promoted, UL creates their own "glass ceiling" to limit promotions. Multiple divestitures over the past years.
