Still the best - Sr Data Analyst UKG Employee Review

If you're going to work in corporate, UKG is still the best. Before it was UKG it was Ultimate Software and Kronos. Those two companies merged and formed UKG. I worked at Ultimate Software before the merger. Ultimate Software was consistently in the top 25 of fortune's 100 best companies to work for (I think it was eight years in a row in the top 25). The CEO was a great man who had emblazoned on the headquarters' wall one of his north stars as an executive, a mantra he came up with: "The measure of a company is how they treat their lowest-paid employee." We had 100% healthcare for employee, domestic partner, and all children; 40% matching on 401k, that's not a typo, i said 40%, not 4; and a general encouragement to feel empowered as an employee to do the right thing - a value system rarely encouraged in the corporate space - moral soundness. They really treated everyone the same and cared about employees and their families. Now with the merger, some stuff has changed - all the executives have changed up and it's a whole new thing. But we still have 100% healthcare for domestic partner and dependents and 40% matching on 401k. Most of the same people are still here, including VPs and management and individual contributors and they all carry with them the spirit of joy and moral soundness. There were a bunch of firings and that is a difficult pill to swallow - 14% of the workforce was let go. But I'm hoping that was the only big one. They brought on a new CEO after that big firing and she is awesome. She is fun and interesting but also kind, dedicated, and hard working. She has the spirit that all the employees already had. I think she will be a great leader and I hope she stays forever. All of the leaders they have brought on so far seem really great and that is super encouraging - nice, cool, down-to-earth, considerate of all employees and treating us like real people, not like corporate hamsters on a corporate spinning wheel. I'm cautiously optimistic, but really feel like we might pull through and be the best company in the industry - the most fun, caring, hard working, technologically impressive, beloved, well-known, and sought-after company for HR and Payroll.
