Pros

Salary and compensation are good. Hiring freshers at higher package and laying off old employees of Kronos and Ultimate software employees using PIP ( To avoid severance package) You will get a chance to work on latest tools and technology but always have a fear of job loss everyday. If you are passionate to work for 12 hours everyday and enjoy working on weekends then you should join UKG.

Cons

Worst culture driven by US leadership. Frequent layoffs (Multiple major layoffs in the past and silent layoffs now using PIP to avoid giving severance package) No Job security at all. Extreme work pressure (No work life balance) Frequent executive leadership change with no clear goals. Every new leader is changing organization direction within few months.

Post merger mess, but great people to work with

Pros

The Benefits are top tier and wonderful coworkers

Cons

They are controlled by an investment group which dictates how they move. Post Ultimate merger, management is disjointed and communication is poor. They have consumed so many companies since the pandemic that its hard to get anything done in a timely fashion. Training is also poor and outdated. However they did just get a new CEO after i left so maybe some things have changed.
