- Work life balance - Vacation time - Compensation is withing the norm for the industry - Parking is becoming more and more available as positions are eliminated - An overly complicated code base that will keep engineers employed for decades

Cons

- Highly political work environment with a great deal of back stabbing - The organization is lost technically without any real leadership - Most talented resources are wasted - Product Management hasn't a clue about technology - Scrum implementation is pure torture - Middle management behaves like a pack of wolves - Upper Management is clueless - Product quality has become abysmal - The engineering buildings are a dump - Not enough power to actually run their own IT infrastructure

Pros

Unlimited pto that could be utilized as long as you worked under the right manager, 401k match, certain good managers still left

Cons

Oh where do I begin.... I started at Ultimate Software over 10 years ago, and knew this would be where I would retire. And I was early in a professional career. My job was demanding, but I was ALWAYS happy to go above and beyond because my managers, leaders and team truly appreciated my work. When this "merger" happened, it suddenly became unsteady everywhere. We moved under a new "leader" who no one respected and who had numerous complaints lodged, but because she was who she was, she remains. So I left a team that I absolutely loved because of HER, trying to move into a new space. The team I moved to, I never did what the job was... and that team was decimated within a few months. Thankfully my leader at that time took me with her to a newly created team, again though.... doing something I never signed up to do. I worked on that team for almost 2 years, never feeling like I belonged and wondering when this would end. That team was then "restructured" and I had an honest conversation with my new leader. That leader supported me in what my interests were and I finally started letting go of my anger, as I was working towards what I wanted to do. Then out of the blue, after 13 years, I was laid off via an email on July 3rd. Never had a conversation with any level of leadership, no HR, nothing. Just an impersonal email stating I was no longer needed. So I guess if you don't mind sitting on the edge of your seat every day, or just being the right color/gender/etc for DEI, then you can try this place. But this is NOT what it used to be, and the only reason the rating is even above 3 still is because of new hires being begged to post, fake reviews from who is left trying to save their own jobs, and prior company reviews.

Pros

full benefits, good people, rallied to get things done at all costs

Cons

it has just become a PE playbook company, slash costs, slash jobs, take it all overseas and the customers suffer along the way. the end game it to IPO or sell it out right to another PE firm.
