Pros

Working with a team of people that all have the same passion and drive as I do has been one of the greatest parts of working at Ultimate Software. I get to be creative and analytical and my superiors trust my judgment when it comes to making decisions. Getting to know everyone on a professional and personal level are both important and Ultimate facilitates both. I don't feel like work is a chore anymore. Ultimate has changed my perception of work to be something positive and actually fun! There's a lot of flexibility, we're encouraged to take time out of our day to volunteer for causes we're passionate about, and there are even different support groups we can be a part of. Not to mention there are great benefits, perks, and an amazing culture.

Cons

This really isn't a con, but it's something we work on improving every day: keeping up with the ever-changing technology industry. Things can change from day to day and being able to keep up with everything is a challenge I think we handle well, but there's always room for improvement.

Pros

Humble CEO that is not a numbers-based guy but a people-focused guy makes all the difference in the world. I do not feel like just a number but a partner. This is RARE especially in corporate america. The attention that is given to me and my external quality of life motivates me to improve my internal quality of work ethic. Where most companies fail to realize that the corporate culture is just like day to day outside relationships, is where Ultimate excels.

Cons

The main challenge is the parking. We've outgrown our building years ago and it's survival of the fittest in the parking lot each morning. More specific to my role, the demands are high. Internal communication can certainly be streamlined and more accountable in order to relieve demands on the Account Managers. We know the customer the best so every other department includes us in EVERY communication having to do with the customer. However, this is proving more harmful than helpful. There is high turnover in this role (luckily to other positions internally) because the demand for our attention is always solicited but not always necessary.

Pros

Our CEO Mr. Scott Scherr is very down to earth and approachable, I don't know many CEOs that mingle with their employees during a party or office visits. This is already on top of what our company already provide: the benefits, bonuses, vacations, free food!, free coffee/tea/chocolate, free candies, nerf gun fights, community services, and so much more. You know the LEGO song Everything is Awesome? That should be Ultimate Software's theme song and it's all because of one man the great Mr. Scott Scherr.

Cons

I got none here so far soooooo good!
