Pros

Everyone is very helpful but if your not part of the global team your invisible.

Cons

Upper management is only concerned with the bottom line, orders. They should be looking at revenue per output. I have no idea how this company has stayed in business so long working like this. Smaller business would die on this type of momentum. They are constantly trying to figure out how to keep their employees. Survey after survey yet they do very little about what they receive. If they are looking to keep employees it may be best to offer more than 10 days vacation. It is very hard for those who do not live by family to see them at all if you work at UL and only have a few days vacation. Most companies are offering 3 -4 weeks vacation per year. Some flexibility and working from home would be an eye catcher, too.

UL Solutions Response

Thank you for the valuable work you do as an Inside Sales Rep! On top of our vacation policy, we also offer incidental absent time (sick days), paid holidays, two “floating” holidays, as well as two paid work days to volunteer. Also, UL does have a flexible working policy that allows for some work-from-home scenarios for eligible roles, depending on the nature of the job.

Pros

UL solution was my first office job and engineering experience. It did not disappoint, and got me excited for my future, The HR and hiring team were all so nice and helpful throughout my internship. My managers were helpful, patient, and understanding when I had a family emergency near the end of my internship that forced me to leave the country temporary. The internship showed the various departments in the company, not just the one we had applied for. Would definitely recommend anyone to apply for them.

Cons

UL solutions is focused in certifications and safety, so if you are expecting projects involving development and design this is not the place, We had to do a breakdown on products and perform tests to ensure it meets standards of safety.

Pros

Strong brand reputation and credibility in the marketplace. Excellent opportunity to gain experience in sales, compliance, testing, certification, and regulatory industries. Friendly, knowledgeable, and collaborative colleagues who are willing to help each other succeed. Good work-life balance compared to many sales organizations. Stable business with diverse industries and customers. Professional development opportunities and exposure to complex customer challenges.

Cons

Typical large-company bureaucracy can slow decision-making and execution. Internal processes and approvals may require patience and persistence. Organizational complexity can sometimes create challenges when navigating cross-functional initiatives. Career progression may occasionally depend on understanding and adapting to corporate dynamics.
