Pros

The benefits are great and I love my coworkers but that's about it now.

Cons

Raises were awful for top performers. We get like company stock called rsu now and basically have our money held from us to stay. Unlimited PTO? Use it and so many things will change whole you're gone you'll never catch up. I wouldn't be shocked if they canned us all soon. We're being micromanaged constantly even when we're hitting goal. Managers do not understand what business developments goal is now besides making numbers look big on a piece on a report. I know my number is important. I get paid on it. We do not need to be talked to like we're in the third grade.

Pros

There was once a great company named Ultimate Software, it was destroyed by a hostile takeover from H&F, a private equity firm, and a merger with Kronos to become UKG. There are very few Pros since that time.

Cons

When this company was Ultimate Software, prior to the takeover from H&F and the merger with Kronos, it was a world class company with top shelf people. The company Motto was "People First" and they truly lived by that motto, never a layoff, great working environment and stealer benefits. Since the takeover and subsequent merger with Kronos, to become UKG this company has taken a path of "Money First", which is understandable given the greedy nature of Private Equity Firms like H&F. They have systematically closed most of the offices across the US and have been expanding their footprint in Noida India, for obvious reasons. The leadership that has been put in place by H&F is clearly focused on IPO. And we all know what that means, clean up the books and make the company look as good on paper as possible. Can you say "Lipstick on a Pig". This was once a great company when it was run by Scott and Viv but now it has gone the way of the Private Equity management and is heading for a great fall.
