Pros

In addition to all the generous benefits, the facility perks and countless opportunities for growth, this company fosters innovation and self-actualization like I have never seen. Working at Ultimate Software feels like being with a second family. Our culture is second to none, our Leadership is open and accessible and our CEO is the most humble, down to earth man I've ever known with such a title. As employees we feel appreciated and loved.

Cons

It is hard to find cons when considering Ultimate Software. There are things happening here that can transform both its employees and the the industry as we know it for the better. One would have to search extremely hard to find anything negative about this experience. Having said that, we could only benefit by putting more focus into enhancing our ancillary products and services, to bring them up to an even higher level of the offerings currently out there in the industry market.

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.
