Pros
Innovative culture and flexible working environment
Cons
After having been laid off in the second quarter of 2017, I have had much time to reflect, which is why I waited to write this review. UST Global is not a bad company to work for. There are some very interesting opportunities along with great customers and clients. The cons of working for this company include minimal employee engagement from management as well as limited integrity in handling life events for employees (such as layoffs). Employees are not commodities, and UST Global needs to be more thoughtful in the way they handle such events. It is not fair to hard working people to give them no notice whatsoever of a layoff and then pile on with next to no severance pay. As an employee who spent 1 year working hard and diligently for clients that I cared about, I was quite disappointed. It was particularly upsetting that the company continued to advertise for other open positions during the very same time-frame, which clearly suggests they had the means to be more thoughtful and helpful during such a life transition. I am glad to have had the opportunity to work for UST now that I have moved on in my career, but my advice to others is to consider carefully how you want to be treated during such life events.
