Pros

-Great benefits -Nice commission structure -Pro is an excellent solution -Many wonderful people

Cons

-Ultimate and Kronos merged back in 2020 to form UKG but the company still feels very much like 2 different companies today...and not just from a solution perspective. Pro vs. Ready; Customer Base vs. Net New; Human Resources vs. Payroll; etc. -From a sales perspective, it was VERY difficult to switch to a different vertical or to another sales team. The company constantly says they advocate for internal movement and opportunity but they don't make it easy. And the recruiters and sales managers didn't help either. -Team was extremely unhappy; everyone was nice but there was very little collaboration and no excitement for where we were headed. -Salesforce, pricing, quoting and SOWs were all a mess and extremely too complicated.

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.
