Pros

Benefits - but they are probably not long for this world

Cons

I worked here for just over two years. In that time, I had 3 different managers, was apart of 5 different reorgs, and lived through 2 major layoffs before it finally caught up to me. I never able to be successful because nothing was allowed to stick for very long, and no one had the vision of how to get things done. UKG cannot make up thier mind on what thier goals are, and what they want to be when they grow up. So they just keep spinning thier wheels, throwing darts to see what sticks, but then changing strategy before they even evaluate the previous changes to see if they worked. It's an exhausting, and frankly, terrifying place to work

Pros

The company offers a convenient office location with plenty of nearby dining options and ample parking. The office environment is pleasant, with nice views that make in-office days more enjoyable. The hybrid work arrangement provides a good balance between collaboration and flexibility. Additionally, the organization has been supportive of using AI-powered development tools, which can help improve developer productivity and efficiency.

Cons

As a Senior Software Engineer, I found the company to have several challenges that made it difficult to be effective and grow professionally. The engineering culture can sometimes feel blame-oriented rather than focused on learning and continuous improvement. The software delivery process contains multiple layers of approvals and redundant steps, resulting in slow code promotion to production and reduced engineering velocity. Technical decisions made by senior leadership do not always align with modern engineering practices, which can make innovation and technology adoption more difficult. Recent organizational changes have also reduced the attractiveness of the benefits package. Additionally, bonus compensation is minimal and generally not a meaningful part of overall rewards. While there are talented colleagues and opportunities to work on large-scale systems, engineers who value fast execution, modern technology practices, and strong performance-based compensation may find the environment less appealing.
