Pros

Nothing anymore. It used to be the benefits but now they are looking to take those away. Put out a survey to see what other benefits options we’d like. Basically saying take a pay cut and keep the same benefits or lose your benefits but get paid more. What a joke this company has become.

Cons

Oh boy, where to start? The first is definitely upper management. THEY DON’T CARE about any of their employees. Forcing people back into the office even if they were labeled as remote. They tried to justify it by saying we are losing money and customer satisfaction is all-time low because we all need to collaborate together. Then they post on LinkedIn how they have reached their first billion-dollar quarter. Lol…ok. They already pay lower than other companies and love to brag about how they have equal pay for men and women when I know for a FACT it’s not true. We even tried to fight that and just got the run around from upper management. Nobody likes working here anymore. A bunch of people have left in droves a couple of months ago and now they are spinning this RTO thing to get more people to leave to avoid doing layoffs, even though they’ve done them before and didn’t mention anything to the company until everyone found out and gave them a hard time for it. Now I’ll be one of those people too. Ready to leave this garbage company in the rearview.

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.
