Pros

The people at UKG care about each other at the employee level, plenty of training and mentorship opportunities, unlimited vacation, 45% match on 401k, regular bonuses and stock options for performance.

Cons

Raises haven't kept up once with inflation or cost of living increases in the 3 years I've been here, promotions aren't done fairly, people will steal your work and stab you in the back to get ahead, the politics are toxic, people have literally died from working here and the rest are having mental breakdowns and it isn't even acknowledged. They can't keep anyone good 28% of the company are kids fresh out of college because everyone left or is about to walk out the door.

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.
