Pros

Not too many left unfortunately. Used to be a wonderful place where employees were happy and cared for.

Cons

Current customers and employees come last. Leadership is tone def to customer frustrations and feedback employees have been providing for the past 2 years. Execs are only concerned with getting new customers signed and only now starting to realize how many customers are leaving as it’s hitting their bottom line. All employees are overwhelmed and unhappy. The amount of product support issues are piled up with no end in site and fed up customers. Employees get no help from leadership and everything is a bandaid. Imagine coming to work daily and having to respond to mounds of unhappy customers with no help from leadership because they are in the same boat you are and inundated with requests they can’t find answers to and unable to provide customers with any update or timeline to their escalated items. Executive Leadership has made too many poor decisions without truly understanding processes and workflow, this leads to constant changes but none moving in the right direction. Too much role corruption and not enough clear direction at the executive leadership level has led to accountability issues and many arguments internally among teams only slowing response times to the customer. Items circle teams internally with very little movement. Everyday is now a battle at UKG externally as well as internally. The focus is no longer on the customer or employee. Unfortunately good employees are paying for low customer survey scores as they are being rated on things which are completely out of their control which is leading to high employee turnover. This only makes the internal issues worse as there are too many new employees in support without the product background or experience to really troubleshoot and it feels like we are down to only a few legacy employees that truly understand our old crumbling product. The line for these few resources is long and not sustainable.

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.
