Pros

Healthcare is still good, and 401k matching up to 45%. These benefits are going to disappear, they are already gauging surveying employees to find out which benefits they want to keep the most.

Cons

I was hired for a remote position, been remote for two years. Now I am being asked to come into the office 30 miles away since the company is switching to hybrid work. I feel betrayed. Benefits are on the chopping block. Layoffs are frequent as the company is recalibrating. This place is turning into a revolving door. Ultimate Software was great, now many are looking to leave. Would not recommend this place any longer.

Pros

Working from home and the benefits are okay, but not really any different from those in most other organizations.

Cons

Too many managers are ill-informed about how much work there is to complete. Too many meetings pull employees away from work, yet they are chastised for work-life balance. I do not want to miss a deadline, so I work extra hours but don't report them. Processes seem to change daily. People-first is all but forgotten. Customer service is the unsung hero, carrying the weight of the world but often overlooked. Unrealistic classroom times leave little to no time for Q&A. There are manager pets and clicks in the organization. "Ohana" (meaning Family) is a joke. Do not share innovations with others; they are often stolen by others who will take accolades and credit for themselves. There are egotistical managers who could use a lesson in humility. Growth is nearly impossible. Personal review is a waste of my time. The manager is going to override my ratings with their own. Just give me my review and let's get on with it. It's been all downhill since the merge. Layoffs are a constant worry.
