Pros

Excellent culture, attracts the best, smartest people from respective industries. Very supportive management, everyone is friendly and always willing to help. Excellent human management solutions that are truly developed with the end user in mind and make their work lives simple. Ultimate heavily invests in making our products better and better. Unbelievable culture translates into amazing client support, which keeps me focused on bringing in new business rather than putting out fires. People first attitude is not just something that is talked about, top down walk the talk and it translates throughout the business.

Cons

Being in sales, the only challenge i can think of is getting the Ultimate name out there, however its a positive within the negative that more money is put towards making our products world class than marketing our brand or diluting the territories with excessive amounts of sales people.

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.
