Pros

Subsidized Health Care, access to training. Little to no after hours work.

Cons

Stay far away. Toxic culture where many strong and employable people have left, leaving some behind who have no other option than to cling to their role by all means possible. The product has major issues as it is falling apart and barely working half the time. Epic exec leadership is in a tough position where they are trying to execute change but the staff won't or isnt't able to, which is causing their mandates from on high to be increasingly desperate. All leaders are now McKinsey folk focused on consulting type quick fixes that are not resonating. Finally the "hail mary" of making reliability an economic incentive is also already failing. Everyone on call for no money, the list goes on and on. Why should anyone even try anymore?

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.
