Pros

If you can find a leader that use to be on the Ultimate Software side you are good with your leader. 100% benefits paid for now, Unlimited PTO.

Cons

I worked for Ultimate Software before it merged into Kronos creating UKG. To go from truly being one of the best companies I have ever worked for to one of the worst is an understatement. Leadership is being taken over by Kronos leaders and not all of them are bad but they all have an ADP feel and sadly, it is much worse than ADP ever was. When I was hired at Ultimate i was told they would never do lay offs. Well UKG has now done two rounds of layoffs and it is heartbreaking. They took away every perk imaginable and no one cares at all. This is one of the worse companies in my career but not because of what I went through at Ultimate, But what I have gone through as a UKG Employee. Kronos was handed a golden egg and they have done an outstanding job of making it rotten. When the CEO took over he said "I hope to keep the employee satisfaction at an all time high" Well, you have failed and failed miserably.

Pros

The company offers a convenient office location with plenty of nearby dining options and ample parking. The office environment is pleasant, with nice views that make in-office days more enjoyable. The hybrid work arrangement provides a good balance between collaboration and flexibility. Additionally, the organization has been supportive of using AI-powered development tools, which can help improve developer productivity and efficiency.

Cons

As a Senior Software Engineer, I found the company to have several challenges that made it difficult to be effective and grow professionally. The engineering culture can sometimes feel blame-oriented rather than focused on learning and continuous improvement. The software delivery process contains multiple layers of approvals and redundant steps, resulting in slow code promotion to production and reduced engineering velocity. Technical decisions made by senior leadership do not always align with modern engineering practices, which can make innovation and technology adoption more difficult. Recent organizational changes have also reduced the attractiveness of the benefits package. Additionally, bonus compensation is minimal and generally not a meaningful part of overall rewards. While there are talented colleagues and opportunities to work on large-scale systems, engineers who value fast execution, modern technology practices, and strong performance-based compensation may find the environment less appealing.
