Pros

This company is absolutely amazing! They treat each team member like family and the benefits and office atmosphere are like no other company I have been employed with. If I knew a company like this actually existed, I would have left the corporate world a very long time ago. I have been missing out on so much! It is truly as blessing in my life to be part of the UltiFamily. I have found my home until retirement and I enjoy what I do so much that they may have to force me to retire when the time comes!! Ultimate is truly Ultimate!!!!

Cons

There are no pitfalls to this company - they are all they say they are and then some!

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.
