Thank you for taking the time to write a review about your experience at Ulteig. I am glad to see that you feel so positively about the company. I also appreciate your comment about the strong growth trajectory. I encourage you to review our latest strategic plan and vision for the future to get a better idea of where we're heading - at least for the next few years. Please also feel to reach out to me to discuss (CHRO). Thanks!

Pros

Really good management, interesting projects, career growth opportunities, competitive pay for the industry, the ESOP benefit is great, 100% remote, and a great work-life balance. I feel blessed to work here.

Cons

The billable hour system is kind of unfortunate. Non-billable hours are subtracted from anything past 40 hours a week. So, if you worked 3 hours worth of non-billable hours that week and you worked a total of 45 hours, you will only be paid for 42 hours. I feel like that is kind of stealing time from employees and also disincentivizes people to work more to grow the company. The PTO system, I think, could use some upgrades. We don't have many paid holidays here at Ulteig, so a couple more days of PTO per year would help us be an employer of choice in the market.

Thank you so much for writing the detailed review. It is great to see that you feel blessed to work at Ulteig. I understand your point about billable/non-billable hours. For those reading this who do not work in the engineering consulting industry, I will provide an explanation of what the reviewer is alluding to. This person is an 'exempt' employee, meaning that they work in a position with a salary (not a job with an hourly wage), with no requirement to pay overtime according to U.S. pay regulations. Like some other companies in our industry, Ulteig provides additional pay when salaried employees work over 40 hours of billable work per week. The rationale being that those hours are generally chargeable to a client, and generate revenue for the firm. The individual is correct that Ulteig does not provide additional compensation for other hours worked.

Thanks for the review about your employment at Ulteig! I am pleased to see how satisfied you are with Ulteig's flexible culture and interesting, dynamic work. Thanks for the point about PTO as well. That is the starting point for PTO at Ulteig. Professional work experience (prior to Ulteig) and ongoing tenure at Ulteig both contribute to higher PTO rates. Please contact the Benefits team if you have any questions about your PTO accrual rate.
