Pros

Great benefits! 100% employer paid medical is hard to beat. UltiPro Enterprise has its act together. Team is solid. Consultants are extremely knowledgeable and management is stable.

Cons

UltiPro Workplace is a nightmare!. Too much turnover. Senior level consultants come and go. A recent reorganization of the implementation teams resultied in the loss of our more experienced consultants. In addition the management team in Workplace has little experience managing and less product knowledge. Most implementations are an excercise in crisis management followed by the "blame game". Pay scale is low in comparison to other implementation roles.

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.
