Pros

The culture of our company truly separates us from the rest. From the top down, leadership moves in the same direction, always looking out for the employees. Every decision made is for the good of the employees and their families. Leaders are given the autonomy to make decisions without the corporate red tape that exists elsewhere. The culture has only improved in the 5+ years I've been with Ultimate.

Cons

The only issue that exists is that some employees take for granted how good they have it at Ultimate. Some believe the grass is greener elsewhere. Most of these employees have no other experience to draw from. Some people can get entitled in an employee-centric culture like this.

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.
