Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.
The canteen and office are very modern and green.
They really seem to care about career advancement with quarterly check ins to see where you want to go in your career and how you get there.
Work is completely flexible and very understanding about your time and life outside of work as long as you are doing your job
Minpunten
Quite a lot of change, the business seems to restructure semi-regularly although this seems to affect our US colleagues a lot more
Some teams can be sluggish and have a "not my job" attitude to collaboration

Thanks for taking the time to leave us your feedback. It is great to hear that you find our culture friendly and welcoming and that you are able to enjoy the amenities in our Basingstoke office.
We know that change can be difficult, but these are the result of thoughtful decisions to ensure UL Solutions can continue working for a safer world long into the future. Thank you for taking the time to share your input.
- The team is great. Both morning and night shift tend to interact well and joke. Both teams know the importance of time and place meaning they take work seriously but also have fun.
- Manager of the department is really cool and is a team leader. Really cares for the team
- Good job to gain experience
Minpunten
- Peak season is a drag. 72hr weeks for ~11 weeks really takes a toll, and upper management doesn't really do anything to help.
- The pay isn't all that great compared to other engineers in the Bay Area.
- Certification testing follows the procedures of the client and regulatory agencies. There isn't much room to express creative thought. Mundane work.
- Regional Manager doesn't have the interest of the employees, only of the client. Regional would go to the meeting as a yes man to the client without consulting the engineering leads.
- Ever since UL Solutions went public, it doesn't feel like a safety company. They care more about how much money they can make or save than about the safety of the consumer product.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your thoughts. We are happy to hear that you work in a positive team environment where you feel cared about and that you have been able to gain positive experience.
We understand that some may encounter longer working hours, especially during peak periods tied to customer deadlines. Although these situations are time‑limited and part of real project demands, we recognize that extended hours can be challenging and are not something we want to become the norm. We are actively exploring ways to better balance workload expectations, provide clearer guidance around work hours, and ensure managers have the tools to support healthy work practices. We appreciate this feedback.
