Pros

The employees implementing the WFR product (Application Consultants)

Cons

Just about everything else. Services: -Management/Executives make blind uninformed decisions. -Nobody in a decision making seat has ever filled the role of deploying the product. -WFR business unit is riddled with positions that should be filled with those who understand the system/process/product. Instead, the baseline(AC's) has to work twice as hard to keep the salaries afloat of roles that provide no value. -New Hires receive training but then are thrown to the wolves with a services organization with no resource deployment or complexity of the products being deployed. How has this not been tackled by our leaders yet!?!?! This is a major red flag and should have been dealt with months ago with all of the changes to leadership who "know what is going on." (heavy emphasis on quotes) Finance/Marketing: -What is going on here????!?! This group makes services metrics? This group is beyond clueless about the product/customer and exclusively hurts the services organization defining irrelevant metrics. They would see the whole business unit run to the ground to make one months PowerPoint slides look "pretty." Making Power Points is about the only marketable skill from this department. Sales: -Toxic, plain and simple. Rewarded for lying and cheating customers at the expense of the customer and Kronos. This department is out of control and will ultimately be the final straw crushing the camel beneath. Quality of sale and performance of sales rep are across the board an inverse relation.

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.
