Pros

Very flexible employer. Company is also an ESOP which adds a nice aspect to having skin in the game and reaping some of the rewards of your contributions if the company does well. Ulteig has some really good employees and a culture of really wanting to help each other.

Cons

Benefits have eroded over the past several years. Company invests heavily in things that bring very little benefit to employees, especially on the production side of the business. Overhead is inflated and as such, most of the opportunities for advancement are on that side of the business and the threshold is much lower than on the production side. The aggressive approach company has taken with DEI was the opposite of unifying and felt very accusatory to and excludes certain groups of individuals.

Thanks for the taking the time to write a detailed review about your experiences at Ulteig. And, thanks also for doing your part as a manager to support Ulteig's culture. I am sorry to see your comments regarding lack of advancement opportunity on the operating side of the business. I have a different perspective as there are many levels of advancement opportunity from your position to more senior roles. Please connect with me or one of my team members if you'd like to discuss pathways available to you.

Pros

Very well run engineering firm with great pay and benefits.

Cons

Can feel difficult to build connections and ultimately grow if not at least hybrid. Working a fully remote role I have trained multiple new hires in my role, have value added skills that other do not, and have been there as long if not longer than than others with my same title, yet they have been promoted to senior/advisory roles.

Pros

Ulteig is an absolutely terrific place to work. I feel lucky and am grateful every day that I'm an employee owner here. There are SO many pros! ESOP CULTURE -- There's a true difference between the ESOP culture here and non-ESOP companies. Every employee has a vested interest (not to mention a financial interest) in this company doing well. That motivates people differently. You can see it here. You can feel it. FLEXIBILITY -- While the majority of companies have reverted to a return-to-office model, Ulteig continues to maintain that they want their employees to do what works best for them. We have great offices available across the U.S. (not to mention offices in Canada and now Costa Rica) for employees to work from if they choose, or employees can work from home if they prefer... or anything in between. And if folks do work remotely, they continue to be included in the culture here as a priority. LEADERSHIP -- All levels of leadership here are top-notch. From the Engineering Supervisors and Technical Managers all the way to the very top, they’re great people and great leaders. Leadership listens—no matter which level you’re talking to. This is because every voice matters at Ulteig. DEI -- Ulteig has invested significantly in building a great DEI culture. This is a priority for them. Everyone who comes to Ulteig will feel welcome in our inclusive space. ESOP -- Beyond the cultural benefits of ESOP, looking at the ESOP growth statements is quite exciting. There is 401(k) matching at Ulteig, but ESOP is a HUGE part of the retirement plan. FELLOW CO-WORKERS/EMPLOYEE-OWNERS -- Ulteig makes it a priority to hire really great people, and it shows. This is likely one reason why I like all of my co-workers. No, really! It’s awesome how great the people here are, and everyone is happy to help out when there are struggles. The camaraderie here really stands out. And on top of all that, we are truly client-focused. OTHER BENEFITS, COMPENSATION -- Competitive compensation, good benefits, and generous PTO. My company even has pet bereavement leave... does yours?

Cons

This will not always necessarily be a job where you clock in and out for 8 hours per day. You can do that frequently, but every so often, more hours may be required to finish deliverables on time.
