Pros

Free everything, FREE HEALTHCARE, free coffee, free ice cream, free breakfast every 1st Monday, free BBQ lunches for new hire, free shirts, free book bags, free Laptops, free travel, free everything Great (or is it).

Cons

They average about 20,000 under median salary. Meaning THEY RUN 20-25K less than you would get at a company where everything is NOT free and where you would pay for things that you actually need and wanted. I would much rather pay for what I want rather than be TAXED for all the benefits that I really don't utilize and take part in. Thanks but no thanks

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.
