Pros

The company culture that our CEO, Scott Scherr has created is unbelievable. Everyone is like family, co-laboring for the benefit of our clients. Everyone's voice is heard and respected. Management truly takes care of their teams. This company not only takes care of me, but my entire family. My children have visited Ultimate Software and see it as a "Software Disneyworld". They hope to work here someday as well. Scott had a vision 25 years ago, and it grows everyday. He is an amazing person and leader.I am so honored to be a part of this fantastic company.

Cons

There are no real "cons". Yes, there are stressful issues and seasons, but I see them as opportunities for growth and learning.

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.
