Pros

Decent pay and PTO, WFH opportunities. Gave me the experience on my resume to find a better job.

Cons

I worked UL EHSS, but I've heard many of the same stories from UL Corporate. Extremely mismanaged and poorly run. Senior management is focused on revenue only, and is very disconnected and out of touch with employees. Employee retention is atrocious. Virtually NO training at all, and the company does not foster an environment that promotes sharing knowledge. There is zero business process documentation, and everyone does the same task differently. Be prepared to just get thrown into your position and figure out how to do it yourself. Management would regularly charge unnecessary travel and entertainment expenses to the company, and yet layoffs occurred 3+ times per year.

Pros

WFH policy and great coworkers.

Cons

Role eliminated while executives and higher-ups spend ridiculous amounts of money on travel to "conferences", while transitioning the team to all contract/external employees to alleviate "budgeting" costs. Leaders continue to appease to higher-ups and C-level executives without a care or understanding of current team dynamics to protect themselves in a cutthroat and toxic environment filled with corporate politics. 0 growth for internal designers at below market salaries (20-25%) and below average benefits- when mentioned to leaders, profits are increasing YOY, yet the discussion becomes a "let's circle back" while 10+ contractors are immediately brought on board.
