Pros

I started at UKG in a position I wasn't entirely sure what I was getting myself into. By far, it was one of the most challenging roles I've ever had in my career. However, with the difficulties, it also provided me with tremendous growth and skills I would've never received outside the company. It led me to my current role where I've been able to show all that I'm capable of. What's great about UKG is the trust aspect, flexibility, and understanding. I came from a company that didn't believe in work/life balance and that work environment deteriorates employees. At UKG, you have that work/life balance and support of a company who values you as an employee and wants to see your success.

Cons

At my time with the company, each year has brought a new change that has come with some uncertainties and I think that forces you to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. In addition, with the merger, it has been challenging bridging gaps between legacy companies and come together to tackle software solutions. Resources also seem to be in dire need to make necessary improvements. I think we'll get there. Just have to go through the learning curves that will make you stronger on the other side.

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.
