Pros

The opportunities to contribute in building a culture of the organization was the biggest glue for the employees to stick around. Employee have a role.

Cons

The cohesive culture is splitting and even the top local leaders are able to hold it together or may be they don't want to. In the last 1 year couple of very tenured employees have left and there was no effort from the leadership to retain them, it gives a crushing message to new entrants. The new senior employees are not properly ref checked, and they come with strange reputation which does not match with the culture. Question mark for TA Team. Because of the functional alignment the need to stay together is fast disappearing.

Pros

There was once a great company named Ultimate Software, it was destroyed by a hostile takeover from H&F, a private equity firm, and a merger with Kronos to become UKG. There are very few Pros since that time.

Cons

When this company was Ultimate Software, prior to the takeover from H&F and the merger with Kronos, it was a world class company with top shelf people. The company Motto was "People First" and they truly lived by that motto, never a layoff, great working environment and stealer benefits. Since the takeover and subsequent merger with Kronos, to become UKG this company has taken a path of "Money First", which is understandable given the greedy nature of Private Equity Firms like H&F. They have systematically closed most of the offices across the US and have been expanding their footprint in Noida India, for obvious reasons. The leadership that has been put in place by H&F is clearly focused on IPO. And we all know what that means, clean up the books and make the company look as good on paper as possible. Can you say "Lipstick on a Pig". This was once a great company when it was run by Scott and Viv but now it has gone the way of the Private Equity management and is heading for a great fall.
