Supportive manager, strong benefits, amazing teammates
Pros
UKG is not perfect, but it's been a perfect employer for me the past few years. My manager is incredible, and removes any blockers to my productivity. Supports my need for time off and encourages my development. My teammates are incredible - so smart, so motivated, so interesting. I love learning from them. As an individual contributor, I'm interested in how I can leverage AI for better productivity. At UKG, there's a huge focus on AI, and as someone not in engineering or product, it's exciting to see how we're still encouraged to join AI challenges, take part in hackathons, come up with our own custom GPTs, and share our learnings with our teammates. The benefits are better than any other org's benefits I've experienced. 12 paid holidays in the US, open PTO, 20 weeks of paid maternity leave, 45% 401K match, tuition reimbursement, etc. My friends are blown away when I share our benefits.
Cons
As a remote employee, it can be difficult to make in-person connections with teammates, because the org doesn't have the budget to facilitate in-person meetings for all teams and groups. So it's really up to you as an individual to make those connections for yourself, either virtually, or locally with peer groups. Also, decision-making can be tedious, depending on the team you're working with. Some pockets prefer decision-by-committee. But that could be a by-product of new leadership in some geos/divisions.
