Pros

Benefits are amazing including 401K match of 45%.

Cons

Culture has dropped consistently while expectations within the job keep going up while offering less pay - leaving many of us (if not all) feeling burnt out and way under appreciated. The benefits are amazing & is what keeps most of us here as well as our great teammates, but we all dread that those benefits may drop too. There is also a push for any leadership/management to live in specific areas, so many of us that had looked at going into management no longer have that option unless willing to move. Seems like a great loss of talent on the company's part.

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.
