Pros

I have total autonomy in how and when I get my job done, as long as it is done. I am surrounded by people I really respect and I have lots of opportunities to develop and move into areas of interest to me. They really 'walk the walk' when it comes to agile working - I'm not a parent but I see many parents I know at work being given the opportunity to make work fit to them no matter how senior or junior they are.

Cons

It can be a bit chaotic but that's all huge companies I have ever worked for! WLB can be a problem but I'm in a senior role and a self admitted workaholic so that doesn't help.

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.
