Employees don't like

The new merger gives us a moment of pause.
I don't have any dislikes about Ultimate Software. As noted, there's always room to improve, but that doesn't mean anything's wrong.
The only negative (which isn't even a major negative), is the lack of healthier food options when celebrations occur.
A lot of men in leadership positions
There's very much a work hard play hard, hard drinking culture. While we are encouraged to take time off, the workload and expectations sometimes make work life balance difficult. There's a lot of room and support for professional growth, both laterally and upwards, but few roles have anywhere to go up that's not a management position.

Suggestions for improvement

Focus on customer service. Need more accountability with a handful of them who pass the buck or are unresponsive.
Just keep People First in our new normal. Happy people make happy customers.
The biggest areas for improvement is to continue to tackle the challenge of gender equality and to improve on published career paths for all employees.
New employees should be trained on protecting what has made this company an amazing place.
More uniformity as far as application use and development as the company grows.
