Pros

Healthcare coverage is great (but you're going to be using it a lot due to the amount of stress)

Cons

You know those companies that advertise how diverse they are and showcase all their benefits just for it to be "Too good to be true" - this is it. Believe every single negative review because the real ones are generated using AI & are fake. This use to be a a top notch company so I was excited to join but now the ratings are going down due to the chaos. Policies and management teams change every 2 weeks, the product support team is drowning, low pay, very little to no training, no work life balance unless you want to come back to a large sum of tasks and the department is a revolving door of employees.

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.
