Advice to Management

You are so much invested in your employees like family and be assured, the family will take care of you and the company !!

Pros

Great "people first" culture, they really mean it. Every employee is treated like they belong, and there's constant effort to make our workplace better. Great benefits and great people.

Cons

Sometimes teams feel siloed, would prefer a workspace where more voices and consensus can be heard.

Advice to Management

Try to avoid renaming our upcoming solution so many times. The name ultimately doesn't matter in the end, but the nomenclature from a technical standpoint can be burdensome when you still use libraries from the last naming iteration in the current one while moving to the new one.

Pros

- Lots of great opportunities given to engineers straight out of university - Fun and very welcoming people - Great career learning opportunities - Straightforward career paths with lots of guidance on the way - Great benefits - Very fair compensation and stock options

Cons

- Can be very slow to adopt new technologies - Projects often get shifted around too frequently based on the wants/needs of upper management - Great developers frequently leave for other opportunities with more pay, less overhead and/or more expertise - Small changes often have far too much red tape - Culture can be kind of cult-like and bland at times

Advice to Management

Overall pretty great company and I very much appreciate all the opportunities i'm given here. However my biggest concern is that the company seems to embrace this philosophy that it'll be the last company anyone will ever have to work for. For numerous of people i've worked with, this leads to an environment where there are not very many consequences to failure. Missing deadlines, stagnant growth, not... challenging themselves. Maybe if i was later into my career, i'd be okay with just settling down and getting comfortable here. However as someone in their mid 20s, I feel like I'm not surrounded by enough challenge with my peers and therefore do not feel as accomplished for reaching goals.

Pros

Multiple shifts available to apply for. Supervisor is supportive and help when in need

Cons

Everything seems fine so far no cons.

Advice to Management

Good job keep going.

Pros

"If you take care of your people, your people will take care of the company, simple as that". This is the best workplace environment I've ever had the honour to work for. Amazing People, Best Product, and unbelievable leadership team.

Cons

none that I can think of

Pros

The leadership team has created such an amazing culture, that employees work together like a family to accomplish great result: - Best employee retention in the market - Amazing customer retention and satisfaction - Leading HCM software in the market

Cons

Can't think of any right now... Really hoping everything will remain the same as we transition from public to private

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work...I feel truly blessed to be part of this organization!

Pros

Culture, people, benefits, work/life balance, resources and technology is on point.

Cons

Please remember Canadian employment law is different than the US. Bit of a disconnect there at times.

Advice to Management

Amazing company and values but need to focus on Canada a bit more and ensure compensation and employee recognition is fair with Canadian employees as well.

Pros

Scott Scherr & Viv Maza is what makes us truly unique - These people are so genuine and truly care about everyone that is part of our Ultimate Family. They have created an environment that people want to be a part of, want to make a difference because we can. We all share the same passion, we all understand our "WHY" behind what we do and how we do it and when you have a group of 5000 strong all striving for... the same targets, that's a very powerful thing! We have the best solutions on the market and we play the infinite game, we aren't concerned what our competition is doing because our biggest competitor is our-self. We push ourselves to be better tomorrow than we were yesterday. Truly a great place to work. I cannot thank Scott and Viv enough for giving me the opportunity to be part of something so special. Ultimate Software has 1000% changed my families life and we're so thankful!

Cons

Wish I would have come to Ultimate Software sooner, seriously, no con's to working here, amazing place, amazing people.

Advice to Management

Never change, love you all!
