Pros

Kronos has proven to be an open, transparent culture that is challenging while being supportive. It's undergoing a transformation as it becomes a cloud company and seems to be building trust with its team along the way. From the CEO on down through the ranks, I've found an openness to challenging the status quo, transparency in working through change with the team and comfort in giving top performers step-up opportunities.

Cons

While there is an openness to new ideas, it can be challenging to break through in a culture that has inspired so many people to stay for decades. The long tenure has not created a hesitancy to tackle change but it does present the basic challenge of finding roles for top performers to advance when so many leaders have decades of industry-specific knowledge under their belt.

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.
