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

Working from home and the benefits are okay, but not really any different from those in most other organizations.

Cons

Too many managers are ill-informed about how much work there is to complete. Too many meetings pull employees away from work, yet they are chastised for work-life balance. I do not want to miss a deadline, so I work extra hours but don't report them. Processes seem to change daily. People-first is all but forgotten. Customer service is the unsung hero, carrying the weight of the world but often overlooked. Unrealistic classroom times leave little to no time for Q&A. There are manager pets and clicks in the organization. "Ohana" (meaning Family) is a joke. Do not share innovations with others; they are often stolen by others who will take accolades and credit for themselves. There are egotistical managers who could use a lesson in humility. Growth is nearly impossible. Personal review is a waste of my time. The manager is going to override my ratings with their own. Just give me my review and let's get on with it. It's been all downhill since the merge. Layoffs are a constant worry.
