UL Solutions Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Insurance, healthcare together with annual check-up and dental care.

Annual Incentive bonus is great

Review from HR Dept

salary is fair hours are fair

A lot of choices and variable components

They offer Life insurance and 401k

Fair compensation for the work performed

Review from Engineering Dept

bonus is good , merit avg. UL tends to not be a leader in this area but rather at the median. lead to get the best and retain the best.

Very fair and transparency to know

Good benefits provided to most

Pretty standard stuff. Although it has gone down over past few years as well.

401K matching is a good thing

Aeip payouts rarely disappoint me

Health benefits and work life balance

Review from Engineering Dept

Average salary and increments. Average perks

I feel like all benefits have great value. I appreciate that UL has an annual bonus for all employees unlike my previous companies.

Review from HR Dept

Decent benefits and 401k for employees.

Because of the size of UL and its employees, I believe we have access to better priced healthcare.

Good salary, however can not match something like a FANG

Benefits are what keeps me there

The bonus percentage is the best part of compensation. Our time off is not competitive.

Review from Marketing Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Low pay, no path for growth

Actually paying market rate and at least offer a salary that is in line with inflation, it becomes harder and harder to work for UL every year.

Higher pay and some respect.

Review from Engineering Dept

The cost incease in compensation equals our raises.

Teams are overworked, deadlines are missed, and the work keeps piling on. Instead of hiring more resources or allowing for actual project management, leadership and executive leadership stresses the need for time management and personal accountability. People are working 60+ hour weeks.

pay people for the work they're doing - the multiple jobs and responsibilities they're juggling

The company reduced overall benefits and bonuses for lower level employees during the rise of inflation and cost of living increased. The company doesn't seem like it actually cares to pay their essential workers a living wage

Review from Engineering Dept

Industry standards for compensation would be nice to follow..

Very little opportunity for promotion, micromanagement at all levels makes you feel like you don't know what you're doing despite knowing more than your managers, laughable merit increases every year

A manager should not need to "fight" to get their highest impact employee a 3% annual raise.

Review from Customer Success Dept

They don't pay enough and the healthcare (UHC) is trash.

High performers are not recognized.

Review from Engineering Dept

to make it to market range

Paid below market rate currently

They pay temps way more than employees that have worked for the company for 5-10 years. NW Arkansas UL Labs were placed inside a lousy Business unit and despite good earning in our section our pay and hiring were frozen for years. Their solution is to hire unqualified temps that screw up constantly

Increasing my salary to match the market.

Gender pay gap was never addressed, I know I make less than my male colleagues

Review from Sales Dept

Manager and HR do not care about employees growth

The voluntary positions should be paid.

Review from Admin Dept

I feel like my salary should be in line with the job requirements. I came into a position making much less than my predecessor to do more work based off restructuring.
