What's It Like to Work at UL Solutions?

Employees at UL Solutions say they would recommend it as a workplace because of the welcoming atmosphere and coworkers, meaningful and mission driven work and strong work/life balance. Employees love the flexibility that UL Solutions provides and the variety of ever-changing and challenging work. Many employees collaborate globally, ensuring that learning is not just technical, but also inter-cultural and international. 

While some employees previously raised concerns about job stability and restructures after the company became publicly traded in 2024, employee sentiment has since focused on building a strong and resilient company that can continue to work for a safer world long into the future. This has reassured employees that UL Solutions is worth recommending to a friend.

UL Solutions is recognized as a reliable and trusted partner with a 132-year legacy. It holds a Built In Employer Reputation Score of 74% in 2026, demonstrating broad external validation of employee experience. 

Additional signals of its overall reputation include Built In coverage highlighting a top-tier employee experience. Leadership reinforces its reputation in the market by regularly responding to and incorporating feedback from employee reviews and listening sessions.

At UL Solutions, one trade-off employees often cite as an area for improvement is less competitive compensation and benefits depending on the location and role they are employed at. In recent years, leadership has mitigated this trade-off by initiating a global restructuring of benefits and comprehensive compensation reviews to ensure that offerings are in line with market expectations. 

 
The trade-off is also balanced by major strengths, including strong employee alignment with the mission of the business and award-winning learning and development programs leading to great internal mobility and high retention rates. A generous all employee incentive program also recognises and rewards employees financially. Employees also have access to an employee stock purchase program giving them the ability to personally benefit from the company’s financial success. Importantly, recruiters are always transparent about pay upfront in candidate conversations, managers talk openly about them in one-on-ones, and leaders acknowledge feedback transparently in company meetings — ensuring employees feel respected and understand their compensation and rewards. Additionally, UL Solutions has won workplace awards for providing equal pay and has been recognized by earning a top score in the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2023-2024 Corporate Equality Index.

UL Solutions operates in more than 40 countries. Given the breadth of industries, nations, roles, and opportunities available, there will be significant variation in employee experience. What unites UL Solutions culture is a dedication to our mission of working for a safer world, a culture of inclusivity, collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to the values of safety, integrity, respect and growth.
