Pros

I have been a part of UKG since last 10 years. Started as Senior sofware engineer and now Engineering Manager. The journey has been great and growing because of the amazing work culture here and acknowldgement of har work by leadership. UKG gives ample opportunities to be a part of Employee Resource groups, advisory committees, Food committee which thrives the culture of listening to Employee Voices in all respects. World class processes are followed when it comes to handling planned deliverables, remediating incidents, issues and inculcating the growth mindset in employees. Excellent benefits including medical and group insurance, maternity and paternity leaves and other flexi expenses. Cab availability at almost negligible cost even from far off distances. Hybrid Work model. Amazing Work Culture and Work life balance. Not seen a single instance where anyone's leave was rejected. Great involvement from leadership at ground level which boosts confidence in teams.

Cons

Company has started following UE model in engineering, So if you are not willing to be a full stack, then it does not fit you. Rest , I cannot think of any other Cons.

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.
