Vantaggi

Compensation is adequate (assuming only a 40 hr week, often expected to do more) Facility in Lowell is nice

Svantaggi

If Kronos spent half as much effort getting rid of the dinosaur executives as it did on working with "great place to work" consulting and marketing, it might actually be a great place to work. Other reviews have also said it. Work-life balance does not apply in engineering, support or professional services. Everyone is constantly in chaos so nobody ever has time to think strategically. Don't take initiative here, you will either be "rewarded" with extra work, or told you need to "stay in your lane". Executives can't even be held accountable. Even if you do what you are told, and warn them about a bad idea, it'll still be your fault and they'll say "I don't remember you talking about these risks". You will constantly have to decide between doing the right thing to do for the company and potentially making your team/org look bad. We never have real conversations about the underlying problems because everyone is too focused on not being the ones blamed. Forget trying to move to another part of the company. Executives shut down transfers all the time. HR will deny this, but I've had it happen to at least 4 other colleagues including myself.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
