Pros

paid health care, 401k match (for now), great team well what's left of it

Cons

What can be said that hasn't already been said in other reviews. The fact that every other review is a bad review says it all. Bad executive leadership that is just driving bottom line numbers to go public or be sold. HR that solicits new hires or recently promoted to give good glassdoor reviews. Anything that is good about UKG is from legacy benefits. This company is no longer innovative, no longer a great place to work, and has a toxic work culture. RTEO is not going to get the results that executive leadership wants.... what then?

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.
