Pros

Work/Life Balance - Very Flexible and understanding. Good People - Even the manager regardless of business decisions are cool people. For me they passed the beer test.

Cons

Small and getting smaller - My prediction is that in five years food solutions will not be in Lisle. Not much opportunity - If you are looking to climb the corporate ladder this is not the place. Old - If you consider yourself a young professional and looking for a YP atmosphere this is not the place for you.

Pros

Hard to find any pros now... nice new office with a view, Good products. Company store. Good stamp on the resume (I guess).

Cons

UL has lost its way. Used to be an exceptional company when it fundamentally was ethical, environmental and prioritized Customer and employee service. Its now clear that the company is being milked by the board for money. Layoffs, sketchy financial activity, disconnected leadership structures with no feedback loops. Office politics are rampant and you cant get promoted, UL creates their own "glass ceiling" to limit promotions. Multiple divestitures over the past years.
