Pros

It has an ok work/life balance with some roles allowing for hybrid workweek.

Cons

UL has slashed benefits including profit sharing, reduced annual salary bumps, raised insurance premiums, and lowered staff morale all while racking in record profits for the top execs. It used to be a great place to work but they got rid of the long time employees since they no longer value our loyalty.

Thank you for leaving us your feedback and for your length of service with UL Solutions. It is great to hear you feel that your work/life balance is respected and you are able to enjoy the benefits of our hybrid work policy. We have recently restructured our benefits package to be more in line with market offerings and to standardize our offerings. We include every employee in the annual employee incentive bonus program and will include all employees in the employee stock purchase program, with a global rollout in progress. We take your feedback seriously and appreciate you sharing this feedback.

Pros

Collaboration with other engineers, technicians, and customers is likely the only remaining positive aspect of working at the company, providing meaningful professional interaction and problem-solving despite broader organizational challenges.

Cons

The company’s top leadership continues to enrich itself while disregarding the well-being and intelligence of its employees. Retirement matching contributions have been reduced, pensions frozen, vacation carryover sharply restricted, health insurance costs substantially increased, annual raise pools kept consistently insufficient, and employee bonuses cut—resulting in stagnant or reduced total compensation for the workforce. Meanwhile, the CEO and executive leadership continue to receive substantial stock awards, bonuses, and compensation that includes personal-expense-related benefits. Compounding these harms, leadership routinely attempts to reframe cuts to employee benefits as being “for employees’ own good,” treating the workforce as though it is incapable of recognizing the direct financial damage these decisions cause. Employees have repeatedly raised these concerns through internal surveys, yet leadership has consistently ignored this feedback. This combination of dismissiveness, misrepresentation, and disproportionate executive enrichment reflects a systemic imbalance of power and priorities that urgently demands intervention and stronger labor protections. In the absence of responsive and accountable leadership, workers must be empowered to organize and unionize to protect their interests, benefits, dignity, and long-term financial security.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We know change can be difficult, and we understand that not everyone will agree with every decision. As the company continues to evolve as a public organization, we have made updates to our programs and benefits with a focus on long-term sustainability and consistency. We appreciate hearing different points of view and encourage employees to share concerns through our internal channels so they can be reviewed and addressed.
