Pros

Flex time in certain positions, nice campus. Most other pros are things of the past.

Cons

Performance reviews depend on whether or not your manager likes you, not your actual performance. Steady acquisition of other companies while telling employees that the company can't afford merit increases. Employee appreciation efforts increasingly revealed to be lip service. Management decided that sales support staff could be turned into actual sales staff with sales quotas, but gave no apparent consideration to each employees actual strengths and abilities. Customers who had a bad experience with one office are no longer given the option to work with a different office. Benefits and perks are gradually worsening or disappearing altogether. Management seems to be addicted to change. Voicing even constructive concerns about a change gets you labeled as a troublemaker. Managers who get caught in immoral activities with married subordinates get little more than a slap on the wrist. Employees are generally treated like grade schoolers instead of the professional adults they are. If you want to get ahead, you had best pucker up. Otherwise, you won't get ahead.

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.
