Pros

This should be a five star review. My experience was very good. The product is surprisingly complex with some good (altho slightly older) technology. The company was filled with truly intelligent people. Hours are good, 3 days a week in office. Random free food and schwag. DEI&B works for how UKG does it. while there are "big company" issues, ukg minimized them in my time.

Cons

One in Seven U-Krewers were just laid off in what can be generously called a disaster. Forget there are VPs trying to recreate a dev process circa 2007, forget some technology is hugely dated, forget the perpetual customer dissatisfaction, forget they are trending to moving jobs overseas. Forget a lot of flaws. Before taking a UKG job you have to ask yourself just how stable is the company? how well run is it?

Pros

The company offers a convenient office location with plenty of nearby dining options and ample parking. The office environment is pleasant, with nice views that make in-office days more enjoyable. The hybrid work arrangement provides a good balance between collaboration and flexibility. Additionally, the organization has been supportive of using AI-powered development tools, which can help improve developer productivity and efficiency.

Cons

As a Senior Software Engineer, I found the company to have several challenges that made it difficult to be effective and grow professionally. The engineering culture can sometimes feel blame-oriented rather than focused on learning and continuous improvement. The software delivery process contains multiple layers of approvals and redundant steps, resulting in slow code promotion to production and reduced engineering velocity. Technical decisions made by senior leadership do not always align with modern engineering practices, which can make innovation and technology adoption more difficult. Recent organizational changes have also reduced the attractiveness of the benefits package. Additionally, bonus compensation is minimal and generally not a meaningful part of overall rewards. While there are talented colleagues and opportunities to work on large-scale systems, engineers who value fast execution, modern technology practices, and strong performance-based compensation may find the environment less appealing.
