Pros

Flexible workplace C-level leaders are engaged Leadership values diverse perspectives and varied work experience Clear work being done in DEI space, while acknowledging there is room to grow Demonstrated effort to maintain connectivity to remote-first workforce Excellent culture The company is eager to be better and do better, willing to do the work Transparency in recruitment Thorough interview process Access to tools

Cons

I am very new to the company and still learning. Having been around for over 75 years, the company is still learning and growing - not a con, per se, but something with which a prospective employee needs to be comfortable.

Great Environment - Benefits are OK

Pros

Ulteig is a great workplace and is very flexible for families. They do genuinely care for their employees. The ESOP is a pretty cool item that many companies don't have.

Cons

Ulteig doesn't have the best benefits. They are OK relatively speaking. I do feel their pay scale is competitive but the way they determine pay and promotions aren't great and should be less bias.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review regarding your experiences at Ulteig. I am glad you recognize the flexible work environment and our caring and support for employees. The Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is a big part of the benefits plan at Ulteig and places our total benefits package at a relatively high level compared to many other organizations. If there's something in particular you would like to see in our benefits plan, please let me know. Also, we have a formalized career lattice that employees and managers can reference for promotion opportunities. Please let me know if you would like support in reviewing with your manager.

Pros

Management is there to help you. Great team collaboration. Supportive environment. Company spends every effort to make us happy. Focus on doing the job you like most. Pay, bonuses, benefits, profit sharing, 401k No work burnout. Diversity Equity Inclusion training.

Cons

Some of the Inclusion training has made some religious people feel excluded. They are able to voice their feelings but the company is working toward a solution.
