Pros

The work can be rewarding depending upon which business unit you work for. Projects can be interesting and customers good to work with.

Cons

Company has potential to be a long term leader in industry, unfortunately it has lost it's way with minimal recognition of the value of leadership and strategy within certain business units, instead managing almost solely to short term (financial) objectives, which is a good way to shrink you market share, drive away talent, and ensure you are not relevant in your industry long term. Perception by front line staff is company has lost it's drive or passion for the stated or historical mission, which is unfortunate as this has been the sole of the company and driver for it's success for multi-generations. Company is struggling as it transition to a for profit company, leadership not experienced in the for profit market, as a result the pendulum has perhaps swung too far to one side too fast.

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.
