Great People, Poor Upper Management

Engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great individual contributors Great PTO allocation Great ESOP Hourly pay for billable overtime when salaried

Cons

Upper management abandons middle management and gives them no authority to enact change. The majority of the engineering success is on the shoulders of a few with little accountability for the many. Large focus on contemporary societal issues, less focus on engineering execution and internal growth & communication. Engineering Salary has lagged industry.

Pros

Invests in their employee owners: - Often hires interns full time - Provides tuition reimbursement, supports professional development opportunities, covers professional licensure exam costs - Allows cross-team/department collaboration to give employees the experiences they desire Provides a flexible workplace: - Flexible hours are encouraged, it is well understood that everyone has a life outside of work - Supports working parents - Supports employees who are attending college Great culture, doesn't feel forced: - People genuinely want to get to know you and try to make you feel included - Employees go into the office willingly for connection opportunities - ERG's provide support to under-represented groups

Cons

One of the only negatives of working at Ulteig is the lack of paid holidays and time off in general. They offer the bare minimum time off. Ulteig is a great employer who appears to care about their employees so it's confusing why this one important benefit has been neglected.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review about your experiences and perspectives at Ulteig. I appreciate your capturing the long list of Pros - they are well-aligned with the typical feedback we receive. With regard to the Cons you mentioned, we are aware that we have an opportunity with holidays, and we'll review again the opportunity to make a change for next year. For others reading this, and wondering about 'the 'bare minimum' time off reference, Ulteig starts full-time employees at 15 days of Paid Time Off (PTO). That number is increased as an employee's tenure builds. For new hires who have professional experience, we provide tenure credit when providing the new hire's PTO accrual rate at their start date.

Pros

The people, culture, flexibility, leadership, benefits, compensation, recognition, importance of the work, ESOP, a robust DEI program -- these are a few of my favorite things. Doesn't matter who you are--as an employee owner here, you have a voice.

Cons

I'm struggling to come up with any!
