Pros

The list of pros have been steadily dwindling year by year. While its not quite as good as in the past, UKG still has a solid benefits package. There is also a flexible office vs remote policy.

Cons

UKG is getting increasingly more bogged down in corporate bureaucracy.. even small/simple decisions now involve several meetings with far too many people involved, most of whom have no idea why they are on the meeting. At the C-suite level, they devoting most of their time chasing corporate trends and pretending that its a company that is far more nimble than they actually are (see first comment). Larger meetings are mostly 'rah rah' pep rallies involving hollow buzzwords and little information employees actually care about. Most of the people there are becoming more and more cynical and alienated but no one wants to risk voicing their concerns out of fear of getting punished with a poor review (aka the deferred death sentence). It is no longer the same company it was even just a few years ago.
