Pros

Good benefits and ability to work remote.

Cons

The staff is overloaded. I’ve been here almost 7 years and I’m being denied promotions to outside groups. I’ve taken over 30 enterprise clients live on their software and I am still not being paid fairly (I cannot even afford a home). It was not like this working at Ultimate Software, but ever since they merged with Kronos there have been layoffs, overworking, and no internal support. They are dollar driven and do not care about employees who have been there because “we can simply be replaced”. Leadership is good at blowing smoke but you can tell nothing they say is sincere. It is very enticing when you hear their benefits package, but the work environment doesn’t even allow you to take PTO because it is a “customer first” mentality. I’ve even had to cut my birthday trip short, which I had been planning for months, to come back from halfway across the world and go directly onsite with a customer. There is not time to breathe between accounts and even if you go above and beyond you are not rewarded except for the occasional t-shirt. I do NOT recommend this 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.
