Pros

If candidates have the right members of management of their side, their employment will be safe regardless of perfomance. If a candidate is willing to work in this type of environment, this is the perfect place for them.

Cons

This company boasts of being a top employer by inflating their turnover numbers. The organization hires a large number of temporary employees which are let go or resign in masses. These numbers are not counted in their attrition as they aren't considered employees. Performance is not the main factor of good standings but the ability to friend the right members of the senior management team. Nepotism is their model of operation; the top officials are either related or close family friends. This model doesn't allow qualified candidates the opportunity to prove themselves through their job performance. Forbes gets it wrong every year with rating this company as a top employer because the management team only allow certain individuals to participate in their survey. Due to the free benefits there are employees who dislike the organization but chose to provide good feedback because of their personal reasons and Ultimate Software takes advantage of this situation. The top employer status is used as a sales tool to attract clients, however they nickel and dime every customer. For being a HR company, employees are treated unfairly with poor performance documentation for obvious reasons. Forbes, stop using a generic survey, get the real facts...

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.
