Pluspunten

salary and benefits. nice office location, has free gym.

Minpunten

management very rude to people, unprofessional.only care to who they will blame. People working very hard and no appreciation. Understaff, so working long hours and weekends. People taking vacation days, just to be able to finish there work. No training at all, company doesn't want to spend money to train people to new technology.

Thank you for providing your feedback. We encourage you to share your feelings with your direct supervisor as well as your local HR representative. Continuous learning and development are encouraged and valued at UL, but it sounds like you haven’t had the opportunity to explore the wealth of training offerings through UL University (ULU). From tech skills to soft skills, there are numerous professional development opportunities. If there is a specific technology you are seeking, perhaps it could be added, especially if others have the same need.

Pluspunten

- The team is great. Both morning and night shift tend to interact well and joke. Both teams know the importance of time and place meaning they take work seriously but also have fun. - Manager of the department is really cool and is a team leader. Really cares for the team - Good job to gain experience

Minpunten

- Peak season is a drag. 72hr weeks for ~11 weeks really takes a toll, and upper management doesn't really do anything to help. - The pay isn't all that great compared to other engineers in the Bay Area. - Certification testing follows the procedures of the client and regulatory agencies. There isn't much room to express creative thought. Mundane work. - Regional Manager doesn't have the interest of the employees, only of the client. Regional would go to the meeting as a yes man to the client without consulting the engineering leads. - Ever since UL Solutions went public, it doesn't feel like a safety company. They care more about how much money they can make or save than about the safety of the consumer product.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your thoughts. We are happy to hear that you work in a positive team environment where you feel cared about and that you have been able to gain positive experience. We understand that some may encounter longer working hours, especially during peak periods tied to customer deadlines. Although these situations are time‑limited and part of real project demands, we recognize that extended hours can be challenging and are not something we want to become the norm. We are actively exploring ways to better balance workload expectations, provide clearer guidance around work hours, and ensure managers have the tools to support healthy work practices. We appreciate this feedback.
