Pros

I'm fairly new at the company but so far so great! From what I can tell, the company offers employees abundant opportunity and an environment that encourages success. The team I work with frequently provides positive reinforcement on all projects and tasks. It's a very pleasant workplace, all the hallway pleasantries make me look forward to daily interaction with colleagues. I've been around our President, Scott Scherr, a few times and he is such a humble and inspiring president whose principals are carried through to all levels of the organization. The Vice President and all directors of my department are excellent leaders whom I greatly admire. Additionally they are very approachable and encourage the collaboration and prosperity of all team members. Most people in my department have been there for over 5 years and many have been there for more than 10! Ultimate Software has countless perks and is good at finding new and creative ways to reward employees. Some of my favorite perks include the 30% matching of 401ks, 100% coverage of medical and dental insurance, charitable participation's, massages on-site, and ice cream truck visits! I love this company! Ultimate Software goes above and beyond in efforts to improve employee and community life!

Cons

Since the company culture is so positive and relaxed that some people may have more of a tendency to take advantage of that and be less productive.

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.
