Pros

The company is flexible and they allow you to figure out things of interest with in reason. If new initiatives are backed by senior management they can happen quickly with out a lot of internal collaboration.

Cons

Kronos currently looks to promote outside the company so most people who work for the company stay at the same level they came in. The company does not seek out new initiatives and better ways of doing things in general. Kronos is slow to move the ship when it does take the time to initiate something and has little attention or patience for details that would make them more successful in the long run.

Pros

There was once a great company named Ultimate Software, it was destroyed by a hostile takeover from H&F, a private equity firm, and a merger with Kronos to become UKG. There are very few Pros since that time.

Cons

When this company was Ultimate Software, prior to the takeover from H&F and the merger with Kronos, it was a world class company with top shelf people. The company Motto was "People First" and they truly lived by that motto, never a layoff, great working environment and stealer benefits. Since the takeover and subsequent merger with Kronos, to become UKG this company has taken a path of "Money First", which is understandable given the greedy nature of Private Equity Firms like H&F. They have systematically closed most of the offices across the US and have been expanding their footprint in Noida India, for obvious reasons. The leadership that has been put in place by H&F is clearly focused on IPO. And we all know what that means, clean up the books and make the company look as good on paper as possible. Can you say "Lipstick on a Pig". This was once a great company when it was run by Scott and Viv but now it has gone the way of the Private Equity management and is heading for a great fall.
