Pros

- People centric policies and atmosphere: The benefits and the policies are effectively drafted keeping the employees in focus. The benefits are evaluated at regular opportunities to keep them updated and meaningful for the employees over time. As an organization itself, 'people' are offered great support to maintain their work life balance and you find ample opportunities to be be with and support your family needs. They stand true to the tagline - "Our purpose is PEOPLE". - Excellent support during the pandemic: There was a quick reaction to form a Rapid Response team which helped all employees and their families who were affected by Covid to find hospitals, medicines, concentrators etc. at the time of need. Continuous assurance was passed from the organization around job security and not opening offices till the situation is safe for the employees. There was regular communication from the Executive Leadership maintaining a transparent communication around the impact of Covid and plans to overcome them. Greatly appreciated. - Transparent communication strategy with the employees; increases all the more during changes and transformations: Classic example of the past 2 years due the pandemic and a merger during the same time. Regular, frequent and effective communication kept employees at all levels informed and in the loop. - Growth and internal job opportunities: In my time with the organization, this is my third team and I have grown from an engineer role to a senior leadership role. I could find opportunities at different times through my journey through the Internal Job opportunities and could explore them successfully. The organization has been very supportive with providing and supporting with such opportunities. - Excellent work and People Culture: Been here for over a decade now and still feel eager to go to office and work with the people around. You find working with a great bunch of people around you at all levels. This matters a lot as one spends 1/3rd of a working day with these people around.

Cons

No cons as such which may be of the intensity to drive the decision of whether to be with the organization or not.

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.
