Pros

1. Kronos is riding the disruptive technology trend. Ability to sell SaaS, mobile solutions and analytics. 2. Positive reputation in the market. Kronos' time & attendance heritage turns most cold calls into a warm call. 3. Kronos solutions have recognizable business value. This is a tangible sale that CFO, CIO, SVP HR and Operations all understand. 4. Compensation is competitive with Oracle, SAP and ADP. Decent base, good comp structure. Good reps earn $200 - 250k, and top reps can clear way more.

Cons

1. Kronos needs to invest in their partner eco-system and support. Most implementations are done in-house, which doesn't scale and hurts quality. Customer support is more 'break fix' than customer service - which is what SaaS clients expect. 2. Kronos' time & attendance reputation is also a barrier to strategic deals. Customer execs see t&a as tactical and call Successfactors or Peoplesoft for cutting edge HR solutions. 3. Nice management, but they are spread out. Not a lot of ramp up help for new hires. You need experience in the HCM space to succeed here.

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.
