Pros

Work is challenging and fulfilling Freedom to lead and execute projects No micromanagement Purpose-driven business agenda Culture of trust and "I have your back" Fun onsite and offsite activities to engage employees Excellent benefits, beyond the norm Flexible and agile working environment HR leadership is crazy innovative and forward-thinking Commitment to gender parity

Cons

Employees who are not self-motivated will struggle Email volumes are hard to manage There is a lot of system simplification left to do (which is also a pro if you're looking for an opportunity to make an impact)

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.
