What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Improvements could be made if they understood the testing process and considered test failures in the testing phase. Having the engineers understand the testing process would greatly benefit the company if they are open to strengthening the company.
Actually offer a career path, promote people or anything, its much lip service and no action, unless you are part of the CEOs inner circle.
Given the results of their sctions, Resigning.

Bring back C&I leadership frim 2018
understanding how hard it is for the people actually doing the work and make it easier for us.
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.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Do not leave grunt work for your coworkers.
Ignore repeating the buzzwords from the senior management actually set meetings that accomplish something.
Top Management is not hinest
My coworkers are leaving in droves and I don't blame them!
Communication and teamwork is missing greatly
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Burn it all down and redo it.
Higher management listening to all levels of employees.
Senior Management needs to stop talking trash about other Senior Managers and begin listening to their teams and working towards solutions to solve problems. It's like a reality show at the moment.
New CEO that understands the pulse of the company, management restructure to provide more salary for the staff that's actually doing the work, less micromanagement, more competitive pay and benefits
Just treat prople as humans and stop the Woke stuff
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Managers need to be better prepared
Stronger screening of internal candidates against hiring manager / team expectations.
Review from Operations Dept
They seem to be following a que card of questions. The time it takes to getting hired is way to long on the average it has taken 2 to 4 mnths. Contact made to interviewee with yeah or nah for acceptance would be courteous.
Review from Sales Dept
Focus on the strengths and weaknesses of being, knowing and doing of people
The behavior questions are lengthy and repetitive. Our specific team has implemented a more personal approach to interviewing like having other team members participate, tour and feel involved in the decision making process. This isn't general practice at UL though.
Review from Engineering Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
No respect gor technical kniwledge...which is the only thing customers want!
Review from Engineering Dept
There was a long period of a couple months where the programs stopped working and everything has to be done as a workaround. Then there was a breach and employees info was leaked and I'm sure customer info as well.
We are constantly behind do to low staffing. UL Upper Management fails to realize that poorly trained temps, that have to be replaced frequently, are not a good solution. They lead to more errors and tension in the operation. Yet they push policy that drive veteran staff out of company.
Extremely high prices on everything
We still work as a non profit company thinking that we are doing favor to our customers. We need full mindset change.
Review from Business Development Dept
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
The entire HR team and the nepotistic culture.
Review from Marketing Dept
The commitment of DE& I and inclusion promise need to be implemented simultaneously, bottom-up & top-down, and without prejudice. I believe that this is what will set UL aside from many employers of choice.
