Pros

- If you are in the region of South Florida, there are very few tech companies that are at the level of UKG. - People lack egos, doesn't feel like everyone is trying to one-up you or sound smarter than you. - Great balance between legacy systems and modern solutions (from a learning experience). You'll have your hands on technology that has been used for decades while also possibly learning new technologies.

Cons

- Too many leadership changes. On-going issue of leaders not knowing what is going on behind the scenes and endlessly aiming for "new and shiny" solutions that don't truly solve customer issues/needs. - Lack of documentation. For everything. Constant layoffs have caused a huge gap in knowledge and very few company-wide processes are documented.

Pros

The company offers a convenient office location with plenty of nearby dining options and ample parking. The office environment is pleasant, with nice views that make in-office days more enjoyable. The hybrid work arrangement provides a good balance between collaboration and flexibility. Additionally, the organization has been supportive of using AI-powered development tools, which can help improve developer productivity and efficiency.

Cons

As a Senior Software Engineer, I found the company to have several challenges that made it difficult to be effective and grow professionally. The engineering culture can sometimes feel blame-oriented rather than focused on learning and continuous improvement. The software delivery process contains multiple layers of approvals and redundant steps, resulting in slow code promotion to production and reduced engineering velocity. Technical decisions made by senior leadership do not always align with modern engineering practices, which can make innovation and technology adoption more difficult. Recent organizational changes have also reduced the attractiveness of the benefits package. Additionally, bonus compensation is minimal and generally not a meaningful part of overall rewards. While there are talented colleagues and opportunities to work on large-scale systems, engineers who value fast execution, modern technology practices, and strong performance-based compensation may find the environment less appealing.
