Pros

Pretty good pay and benefits.

Cons

I started on the legacy Kronos side and this is not the same company I came to work for. The leadership is not good. Decisions from leadership are secretive, and never in the favor of the employee. They have a "good ol boys club" and if you are not in it, they truly dont care about you as a person, just a means to an end. They hack away at our compensation plan every year, like Pual Bunyan trying to prove their might. The company is not financially healthy. They talk about the "rule of 40" and how they are upside down on that figure. There are too few accounts to go around and too many reps. They have fired over 1,000 employees in the last 6-8 months with zero empathy. They used to be about the employee but that ship has sailed. The grass is not greener at UKG, it is wilted and brown. The product does not meet industry standards when it comes to full suite functionality.

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.
