Pros

Colleagues are awesome, mostly willing to help and you feel like some people got your back technically.

Cons

Unfortunately, I felt like working at UL was like the movie Office Space. I had a manager who would have me document electronically why projects were not proceeding (usually waiting on samples or client information), but they would come to me at the beginning of each week asking for status updates. We also had department meetings that were meant to shame each other for longest projects, but I don't think they realized that we didn't care about the age of our teammates projects, we just didn't like being called out like little children.

Pros

The work is interesting. Some decent travel is available if desired. If you work hard and set yourself apart from others you can earn a promotion.

Cons

It’s all about who you know. All responsibilities fall on Engineering. Engineering does much more than “engineer” and spend too much time on stuff that admin staff “should be able” to do. When something needs to change the usual solution is to have Engineers be responsible for it because many non-engineers can’t handle mediocre tasks.
