Pros

Nice people, great 401k match, free healthcare (but Aetna is terrible), work/life balance (depending on your manager).

Cons

Uneven experiences across the company. Sales was split during the merger and has never recovered from the us vs. them dynamic. People on both sides of the split were unhappy. Old management very "hands off", sales engagement rules frequently broken, no deep understanding on either side of how the other does business. Confusing, too many products that have too many gaps and too many overlapping functionalities. The new company does not know what it is or what the culture is. They say "people are our purpose" but that is not played out in how they treat their own people.

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.
