Pros

Most people are great to work with my peers were very supportive Competitive salaries for the area (outside Boston - lower than inside the Big City) A lot of people like the working there, which is a positive I do like Aron - he is pretty personable and will talk to anyone - he gets a big thumbs up!

Cons

Management in some departments tends to "shut their doors" and are not engaged with the 'worker bees' even though us worker bees are making 6 figure plus salaries (HMMM....maybe our ideas are worth listening to?) Some teams clearly have issues getting along and there is a lot of talking behind other dept backs about how bad the other is doing without looking inward. Too boring for me, not my thing - I prefer the .com/younger software crowd - this one is very old school. Some leaders treat their people like they are in Catholic School - your hands will get smacked by the Nun (so beware). Don't see how much innovation can be made to time-card management software in an industry where the company competes with itself.

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.
