I loved the job at first, but with new management, weak compensation compared to the market, it's no longer fun. - Applications Consultant II UKG Employee Review

Pros

The employees are great to work with Advancing workforce management technology Healthcare benefits have always been good Working with different customers all the time

Cons

Compensation is not where it should be No work life balance and management only cares about the hours you're billing customers No career growth opportunities Bonus plan changes hurts the employees that are working 50-60 hours a week. If most employees had a say in their work life balance, they wouldn't work the kinds of hours they do because the compensation isn't worth it. Employees fear speaking up about issues or trying to change the status quo

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.
