Pros

Ulteig is work/life balance focused. They provide a great work culture with great benefits. They have frequent team outings and invest in their employees. Management consistently is looking out for their employees and their well being.

Cons

They could increase the number of paid holidays they offer. They could decrease the investment in some of the initiatives and repurpose the money towards local communities.

We are empowering our employees, clients and community partners to strengthen our inclusive culture by: 

  • Speaking up for themselves and others
  • Freely sharing their ideas
  • Honoring the differences among us
  • Being their full authentic selves
  • Advocating to create and sustain a diverse and equitable future
