Pros

Ultimate is an excellent medium size company with a great deal of positive camaraderie and a respect for employees. Senior management is very accessible and they are honest and open with their communications. Senior technical personnel are very supportive and great to work with. Ultimate offers a wide variety of opportunities to develop your technical skills and mentors offer very well intentioned feedback regarding your career progress. I've been very happy working here.

Cons

Occasional work on weekends, but not as frequent as other tech employers.

Pros

Working from home and the benefits are okay, but not really any different from those in most other organizations.

Cons

Too many managers are ill-informed about how much work there is to complete. Too many meetings pull employees away from work, yet they are chastised for work-life balance. I do not want to miss a deadline, so I work extra hours but don't report them. Processes seem to change daily. People-first is all but forgotten. Customer service is the unsung hero, carrying the weight of the world but often overlooked. Unrealistic classroom times leave little to no time for Q&A. There are manager pets and clicks in the organization. "Ohana" (meaning Family) is a joke. Do not share innovations with others; they are often stolen by others who will take accolades and credit for themselves. There are egotistical managers who could use a lesson in humility. Growth is nearly impossible. Personal review is a waste of my time. The manager is going to override my ratings with their own. Just give me my review and let's get on with it. It's been all downhill since the merge. Layoffs are a constant worry.
