Pros – Culture is awesome. Management is awesome. Benefits are 100% paid. Generous 401K employer match. Solid, stable software. Restricted stock options. Consultants work virtual. Can always find someone to help.

I have been working at Ultimate Software full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – -Fantastic, supportive culture
-Unrivaled benefits in this or any field
-Managers and executive team that put employees first, knowing that this leads to the best product and service for our customers
-Driven teams all focused on doing what it takes to be the best
-Great HQ campus, pick-up basketball games after hours in the lobby!

Cons – Any complaints I could level at US would be true of any other business of this size and probably to a far greater extent. It's a joy and a privilege to work here.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the good work as we climb to our next Championship! ;)

I have been working at Ultimate Software part-time for more than a year

Pros – Casual yet professional, management seems to trust their employees, CEO seems like a genuine individual, co-workers adjust to the culture pretty well, reasonable salaries, more than acceptable hardware/software tools to work with,

Cons – Better training programs, more compatibility between departments

Advice to Senior Management – Pay more attention to the way new hires are being trained

I have been working at Ultimate Software full-time for less than a year

Pros – 100% company paid benefits, shared stock in company but vests in time, decent wages for regular hours (though regular hours are unacceptable)

Cons – Poor to no training plan, expected to work long hours which may included nights, weekends, and holidays. unrealistic demands put on employees, lack of support from fellow team members, feeling like you are set up to fail, lots of perceptions that are assumed (should know this,should know where to find this, should know how to do this, so on and so forth...), management is poor and shows favortism in many departments, concerns go unaddressed, terminated employees are treated extremely unprofessionally!

Advice to Senior Management – Instead of pushing to achieve that #1 goal take the steps to put together training plans for employees, mentor them properly, and help them achieve the role you want the company to be. Spread more of the wealth with your employees - so much is said about how much the company is making and more and more is demanded from employees; when is enough, enough!?

I have been working at Ultimate Software full-time for more than a year

Pros – The benefits, of course, are awesome. They pay for you and your family's complete medical benefits.
Good corporate culture.
Lots of advancement in the company/growing company.
Not a lot of micromanaging. You're allowed to just get your work done.
They've never laid out a single worker, and have always continued to give free medical benefits.
They give us free food-- lunches, breakfast once a month, snack carts, birthday cake, etc.

Cons – Workplace is poorly managed and they refuse to listen to their employees. Concerns are brought to management, and they tell you to work hard and get over it. People leave because they are physically too stressed.
Virtually no work/life balance.
Training is terrible. Most of the time I feel like on an uphill battle just trying to find information to do my job. It's incredibly unorganized.
High turnover.
No flexible hours.

Advice to Senior Management – In your efforts to make money, don't overlook Workplace. Listen to your employees. People are overwhelmed and overstressed. The turnover is high because you refuse to listen to the people that make the business going.
Don't hold people in a department they don't want to be in.
Remember that your philosophy is employees first. I have yet to see this exemplified at Ulti.

I have been working at Ultimate Software full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Great leadership that is focused on the employee. The company believes that to succeed you take care of the employee and they will take care of the customer. I think that the culture here sets us apart from others.

Cons – Nothing really. The company has had to adapt to high growth and changes.

Advice to Senior Management – Continue to adapt to the changes and stay on the same path.

I have been working at Ultimate Software full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – The company offers one of the best benefit packages around.

Cons – Inexperienced and untrained managers making things up as they go along. A company growing as fast as we are needs leadership in the ranks. Many managers were former consultants and simply don't know how to lead. Promotions are often based on who you know or internal popularity rather than your accomplishments or client ratings.

Advice to Senior Management – I have been here for over 10 years and have watched too many consultants leave because of ineffective leadership and poor management. The most recent department of several senior consultants in the Workplace division is an example. Many of our subject matter experts are gone and now we are left with individuals with a title but very little product knowledge.
