Pros

Great benefits! Mostly great people Fun on-the-job perks (if you're local to an office, except for AZ, the culture is bad there) Decent culture (very Stepford-esque though)

Cons

You have to keep your head down to survive. This is not really a place where you can ever disagree with the way things are done or with your supervisors. It's very cliquey and leader-centric. This is one of the reasons they don't have a proper HR (huge red flag). The CPO is HR and whatever she says goes. You're either in with the right people or not. Never sell your soul to a job!

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.
