Pros

benefits are good - 401k match

Cons

This was a hostile takeover where Ultipeeps got screwed over. If you are coming to UKG because of the best place to work award dont be fooled - that was won by Ultimate Software and its culture but sadly nothing remains. Leaders say the have an open door policy, however people get scolded for approaching Kronos leaders with concerns like we used to at Ultimate. Salaries are not competitive, performance is not even looked at. Sad but happy to be working somewhere else

Pros

Great benefits after merge where premiums are covered. Good people in the IC level.

Cons

UKG used to be decent many years prior to the merge with decent work/life balance. As the organization grew, often times lunch was almost always at desk “in fear of not being available.” Reading from some other reviews, it looks like there has been huge amount for attrition on both sides of the merge. Most of the good folks I’ve known while working there have left due to bad culture even though they promote “great culture”. Management doesn’t seem like they know what they’re doing or care for the employees. This review may not be applicable to the whole organization but engineering is not a great group to join.

Gaslighting at it's finest

Pros

Benefits package is good - but not unique for the industry anymore.

Cons

Don't be fooled by the 'best of' lists. People First has gone out the window with the Kronos merger and the first place this is evident is in compensation. The company increased all salaries by 2% for 2021, which is horrible given that everyone's base is drastically different and this also doesn't account for even inflation. That, but is constantly pumping out articles highlighting how we had the best fiscal year ever. Just doesn't add up and adds to the feeling that we're moving further and further away from the values that brought people to Ultimate. Secondly, with the merger, a lot of opportunities opened up for organizational change and restructuring. However, these were all filled with old, white men. For a company that talks a big game about diversity and inclusion, we're not seeing that play out and managers are still dismally trained to deal with issues and formulate coherent responses.
