Pros

Employer paid benefits (deductible raised) Unlimited 410k match ( eliminated for catch-up) Still some good people left No layoffs due to COVID

Cons

NO longer feels likes like focused on employees it feels like focused on cutting costs and getting the most out of you. Kronos ACQUIRED ultimate software, is now in the process of absorbing the different areas. Large number of US leaders are gone and replaced with Kronos managers. Most of the perks we enjoyed are being cut. In the other reviews you'll see nickel and dime, a new cut every month. Jobs being migrated oversees, give you one guess where. Ultimate Software used to be #2 on glassdoor, last year UKG didn't even place. Trust the glassdoor, the other ranking sites are not anonymous. Ultimate made you fee like they cared, at UKG it feels like only cares about cutting the costs. Its fast on the way to being another mediocre company.

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.
