Vantaggi

The pay is acceptable for the most part

Svantaggi

Random layoffs, frequent direction changes, monthly re-orgs, Extremely low morale. So they fired several teams and many principal engineers, replaced them with contractors, moved several projects overseas, and are blaming the low customer satisfaction and increasing number of outages on people not being in the office. Entire teams openly talk about when management will lay off everyone in our department not currently in India. Ultimate software was bought by some private equity group so they could merge it with kronos. They took the worst of both companies, and anything good left over was fired and replaced with trash. I joined Ultimate because there were so many high-skill engineers that I could learn from and grow my skills. All of those people are gone, and I no longer feel like there is any more opportunity for growth.

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.
