Pros

Covered benefits and 401K match

Cons

UKG has directly affected this economy's recession with their greedflation. While boasting about record breaking profits each quarter, salaries and raises are subpar. During the pandemic, UKG claimed that all employees would get the same meager raise all while the CEO claimed we were not affected by the pandemic during business review meetings. They have also laid off employees in favor of outsourcing to Noida while boasting about these record breaking profits. Mediocre pay used to be worth it due to covered benefits but we are paid far below the market rate. They are unable to retain employees due to low pay. They have forced employees to return to the office due to apparent "data" that shows employees were more productive in the office while ignoring the fact that the tenure of the employees is non-existent now in comparison to pre-pandemic times. There are no tenured leaders knowledgeable in the software to help support new employees and customers. This company is nowhere near the same it used to be. The awards they have received are not accurate to the culture of the company.

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.
