Pros

Our Benefits and PTO policy.

Cons

It’s very bold to say “our purpose is people” because that couldn’t be any further from the truth. At this point, our purpose isn’t even our customers. UKG has completely turned into a revenue driven company where they just push work on to you until you’re burned out. You have people quitting left and right, taking leave of absences to focus on their mental health, and/or abusing PTO for the sake of not having to work anymore. The ONLY thing keeping 90% of the people working here, is our benefits. The minutes that changes, this company will fall further apart than what it has already. The company died the minute it was sold. Sad.

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.
