Vantaggi

Good benefits Great coworkers Remote jobs are common Aron Ain seems like a good leader and a good person.

Svantaggi

The mixed reviews on Glassdoor are representative of the current situation. There are pockets of UKG where the merger is going well and people from both legacy companies are happy and thriving. Then there are other areas of the company where there are serious issues of toxic leadership, misogyny, a lack of diversity (especially in leadership), nepotism/favoritism, understaffing, overwork, and extreme stress. It can feel like no one cares and no one is looking out for us. We haven't been surveyed about how we are doing for a really long time. Leadership did come on a town hall this week to ask us to provide Glassdoor reviews so they can figure out what's wrong, but then they asked us to make sure to do it "on a good day." In some areas of the company, especially on the Legacy Ultimate Software side, people feel disenfranchised and lost. Our amazing leaders whom we loved deeply are gone and we are watching friends that we have known and admired for years leave one by one. For many from Legacy Ultimate, the merger feels like an acquisition. Leadership appears to strongly favor the Legacy Kronites. For example, salaries at Ultimate tended to be lower, which was a tradeoff we accepted because our benefits and culture were so amazing. Kronos leadership has taken over and has given their Kronites all of our benefits (including free medical) but they are not in turn making moves toward salary parity for Legacy UltiPeeps.

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.
