Vantaggi

Self time management capability, friendly peers.

Svantaggi

High turnover leading to lack of rich tenure pool. Bad leadership This is a software company which lacks service, not a service company that sells software, huge difference. The integration of it's acquired software companies is horrendous and everyone being silo'd to their own task means the client suffers from lack of total understanding and lack of ownership of product. The training program was ridiculous. Here, figure it out, you should know and if you don't you will drown. Not to mention the lack of any solid processes.The tenured peers were nice but treated you like, "I went through hell so you need to too, this is how you'll learn, by totally ruining deployments in front of clients so they see you lack tenure, then once you come to realize how much you don't know, you'll study like you were back in college while traveling a ridiculous amount of hours (up to 75%)....and only then will you be a better person who garners the respect of the staff here. The version documentation is sadly lacking. Don't take it at cover value, read into it and you will see. It's not for existing clients on past versions either, it's actually rebranded as new referencing expired methods. You will write more custom documentation for free than you ever planned on because of this. Since your time is billable, that as well as any help you need will drain you billable hours pool. Clients suffer, you'll deploy what sales over promises and under sells, which is getting pretty typical these days as companies get more desperate for business. Discuss areas for internal improvement with management and you get the really messed up accounts that have traveled between 5 Project Managers before getting to you. Isn't anyone honest anymore with these sales? Your clients will be responsible for training themselves and their own staff off of this old documentation and your very limited number of billable hours. Any failure in the project is traced back to you. You better document every single little thing that happens so you can always reference your facts. Every phone call, every detail of every email that you send to anyone, just like a lawyer and you'll do it for pennies.

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.
