Pros

The only thing I can think of that’s positive is the Employer paid benefits.

Cons

Implementation consultants are over worked and greatly unappreciated and underpaid. The average consultant works an easy 60hr workweek. There is more emphasis on getting an account live than what is right for the client. The timeframe to get accounts live is also getting shorter and shorter. Employees health is negatively getting affected due to the extreme stress. The company offers unlimited PTO but people struggle with taking time off as the work just keeps piling on. UKG says its purpose is people but with each day that passes it’s harder to believe.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
