UKG reviews

H&F took Kronos private a while back. Kronos was a struggling company and it seems like H&F wanted to buy it, "clean up" the books, and take it public again. However, it seems like that wasn't going well for them, so they took Ultimate Software private as well with the intention of merging the two companies, because the combined value is worth more than the sum of the parts. This is what "cleaning up" the books looks like at UKG: An extreme push, especially in certain departments, to use contractors from India. In and of itself, this isn't an issue. The issue is, management is offering 2 or even 3 heads in India for every 1 in the U.S. The powers that be want to cut workforce spending to make the books look better for when they go public. At the time of the merger, Ultimate Software was at $2 billion in revenue and growing, with about half the workforce when taking into account contractors. Kronos was at $2 billion and shrinking because of poor management decisions. They decided to keep Kronos's management instead of Ultimate's because they felt Kronos's management was more experienced. The only thing they are more experienced in is making bad decisions over and over again. Management doesn't care to fix this. One town hall, when asked about the attrition, the CTO said everybody was replaceable.

If you like worrying about if you have a job tomorrow, this is the place for you. Upper management keeps making wrong decisions, which costs the company money and to offset those mistakes they are cutting jobs constantly with no clear direction why. If I have to hear about how UKG1 is going to solve all the issue's that are happening one more time.... Its not, it hasn't and its still not making anything better everything now it is taking twice as long or now we don't have access to what we need to serve the customer. Abort not the place you will enjoy working unless you like a scavenger hunt everyday!!
