Vantaggi

Good work/life balance depending on the team you are in.

Svantaggi

My my, where do I begin? I fear that the size allocation for this field in the glassdoor backend won't allow for all the cons that exist at UKG but I'll give it a shot. 1. Management is clueless as to the needs and concerns of their employees. They continually ask for input on areas where they could improve but then they do the complete opposite. There is no direction at the middle management layer and above and at this point it seems they are just throwing things to the wall and seeing what sticks. 2. Compensation is pretty dismal at UKG. It wasn't that great when it used to be Ultimate Software but it has gotten even worse if that is possible. There is no currently defined yearly salary raise. Salaries are on the low side compared to the industry average. Promotions are based on who you know or who you ask, which is the only way to secure a raise. They have just recently released a bonus and RSU plan but it is very low at best ~ 2-3% depending on company performance, which, let's face it is just a way to deny you a bonus. 3. Kronos runs the organization. If they say jump you say how high. You don't matter if you're part of the legacy Ultimate side. 4. You'll hear the following buzz words regularly, which they use to defend all their nonsensical decisions: "alignment", "strategic", "major", "heavy lifting", "peeling back the kimono". 5. We are experiencing unprecedented levels of attrition from the legacy Ultimate side. Hundreds of employees are leaving. That should tell you how wrong everything is. 6. The merger has destroyed all trust in the old corporate values. 7. It's no longer fun to work here. Go work anywhere else! You won't be happy here.

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.
