Pros

Ultimate Software is a company that puts its employees first, that has never changed. They value their employees so much that they cover the employees and family health and dental coverage and match 401k/Roth contributions dollar for dollar up to 35%. If I said nothing more, that alone would be enough. Management consistently has open door policy and tries to implement changes that can be beneficial to the organization across all departments. Plus they have other ULTI perks that continue revitalize the work force to produce the numbers.

Cons

I am having a difficult time to come up with any cons. The only one I can think of would be related to specialty support and the staffing levels compared to that of the other departments. Side note there is that our superiors do a lot to give us solutions or give us insight in roadmap for those areas.

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.
