A lot of men in leadership positions

The Ultimate Experience
EmployeeWorked in Research/development at Ultimate Software in Fort Lauderdale, FL at the time of review.
What I like
This is a truly great company, constantly striving to do its best for its employees and its clients. This company was built on its People First motto - and it's really more than a motto, it defines its culture.
What I dislike
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.
Suggestions for improvement
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.
Company Culture
Ultimate Software prides itself on its People First culture and does its best to live up to that every day. I've been provided the opportunity to work with some amazing people on some incredible projects. By being given the support needed and the opportunity to stretch myself and grow, I've managed to reach a new level in my career.
Company Image
Ultimate Software is a well-respected name and the organization is a consistent award winner.
Work-Life Balance
Work-Life Balance is always struggle, especially if you're not wired for it, but Ultimate Software tries to support us in this. They even encourage managers to remind their people to take time off - they're more concerned with us not taking enough PTO, not too much.
Career Development
I think the company does a good job at helping people in their career journey, but it's an area that could use a little more focus when it comes to career paths.
Handicapped Accessibility
I'm not really qualified to answer on this, but my guess is that we're about average and could really work to improve in this area. I also believe those initiatives are already underway.
Overall compensation for your work
I believe I am fairly compensated, but not in a way that puts me top of my class of work. Benefits are generous and help make up for any additional compensation I might want.
Inclusive / Diverse
Without a doubt, this is the most diverse company I've ever worked for - and where there may be room for improvement, the company is always striving to make the needed changes.
Environmental Friendliness
In general, the company shows a concern for the environment, but our corporate offices are located in a city that doesn't mandate business recycling, so much goes into the waste instead.
Workplace Safety
I've never been concerned about my safety at work.
Teamwork
Again, part of the People First attitude is how we do our work together.
Attitude towards older colleagues
Long-time employees are treated with respect for the knowledge they've built within the company. Older employees, whether long-tenured with Ultimate Software or not are respected for the industry knowledge they bring.
Support from management
I've had the pleasure of working for some of the best managers I've ever had.
Office / Work Environment
I'm not a fan of the open floor plan model, but we make it work as best we can. The office spaces are nice, with all of the necessaries (like coffee stations). Also, the company does a great job of supporting remote workers.
Challenging Work
The work is rarely mundane. It is often challenging and challenges me to keep growing.
Job Security
A year ago this would have been a 5-star answer, but uncertain times take away a star.
Internal Communication
There is plenty of communication, but occasionally too many channels to listen to.
Gender Equality
As with inclusiveness and diversity, this is a corporate strength that is always being reviewed and improved upon.
Freedom to work independently
While we all need to pull together to accomplish things, individuals are given the space to do their work in the way that's best for them. Sometimes, we even can proposed and drive our own projects.
No better place to be working...
EmployeeWorked at Ultimate Software in Weston, FL at the time of review.
What I like
Freedom and best in class
What I dislike
The new merger gives us a moment of pause.
Suggestions for improvement
Just keep People First in our new normal. Happy people make happy customers.
Company Culture
People First - it's how we were built and it works.
Work-Life Balance
I really think is is Life-Work balance. US keeps our life first.
Inclusive / Diverse
Always was, it is now and it always will be a model for inclusion $& diversity
Teamwork
That's how we get stuff done. Important stuff.
Attitude towards older colleagues
I just might be one of them and I feel as young as I ever have. We see age and experience hand in hand.
Support from management
Great leadership and innovation at every corner of our enterprise.
Internal Communication
We know where we were, where we are and where we are going.
Gender Equality
We are one in the same.

What I like

The only negative (which isn't even a major negative), is the lack of healthier food options when celebrations occur.
Suggestions for improvement
Nothing I can think of at this moment.

My workplace is excellent, good environment, modern facilities, good salary, and promotes good values to all
EmployeeWorked at Ultimate Software in Weston, FL at the time of review.
What I like
My company has allowed me to grow personally since I work with them, they have allowed me to achieve financial stability thanks to all the benefits they give to their employees in matters of insurance, vacation payments, training, among others. The work environment is excellent and that allows a good job to be guaranteed, its facilities are modern and teamwork is essential. Another of its benefits is that it encourages recycling, social equality and equal treatment for all.
What I dislike
I would like programs or improvements to facilities for people with disabilities to be made so that they feel more comfortable and comfortable in their workplace.
Suggestions for improvement
What would improve my company would be to encourage more employees to take courses in preparation for their careers or professional degrees, grant longer break times to avoid stress or fatigue at work and recreational activities more often on the part of management and employees to build trust.
Company Culture
The work environment is very good and I feel comfortable in the company.
Company Image
For me it is a privilege to work in this company for everything that has helped me and allowed me to grow professionally.
Work-Life Balance
The schedules are flexible and allow to have a good daily routine.
Career Development
The company trains its employees through courses.
Handicapped Accessibility
It offers benefits in terms of work and occupation but does not have the necessary spaces for these people to feel comfortable.
Overall compensation for your work
I have a good job and I am covered by different insurance offered by my employer.
Inclusive / Diverse
This is something very important that is given in each department, listening to different opinions allows to do a good job.
Environmental Friendliness
There are always talks on the benefits of collecting garbage and recycling, is one of the values of the company.
Workplace Safety
Often seminars and fire drills and first aid are held to be prepared.
Teamwork
It strongly encourages companionship and teamwork through seminars, workshops and courses.
Attitude towards older colleagues
All employees are treated in a friendly manner regardless of their age, sex or religion.
Support from management
In general, all departments are congratulated by management at the end of each month or when the objectives are reached.
Office / Work Environment
All offices have good facilities to work comfortably.
Challenging Work
It is a bit challenging because I have to keep the information of the company updated and protected through technological services.
Job Security
I feel comfortable with the work I do and the benefits I offer the company
Internal Communication
Meetings are often held to report problems or progress of the company's processes.
Gender Equality
Yes, in the company we all have the same rights and benefits.
Freedom to work independently
The company gives each worker enough space to develop a good job.
Great company to work for, with a great culture and good management
EmployeeWorked at Ultimate Software in Weston, FL at the time of review.
What I like
It's a great place to work, and I really trust my manager to look out for me.
What I dislike
The pay could be more equitable. They take great care of their employees, and managers and executives talk a great deal about how individual contributors are the ones who drive the company and create value. However, I'm only paid for about half of the value I create (though I want to note that this is a much higher percentage than most companies allow their workers to take home). Beyond higher pay, I think greater equity, behind simple bonuses, would be a great move forward for an already pretty great company.
Suggestions for improvement
I think more equity would lead to a stronger workplace culture. The 'work hard, play hard' mentality may work for some employees, but it's not that healthy. If we had less emphasis on rewarding 'high performers' and more emphasis on simply doing your job as well as possible (rather than as long as possible), I think that would be a great leap forward.
Company Culture
I love the team I work on, and the company as a whole has a positive and welcoming culture
Company Image
We're not saving lives, but I feel like for an office job this is as good as it gets
Work-Life Balance
Could be better -- unlimited PTO is a big plus, but practical limitations of my work mean I'm not comfortable taking time off very often
Career Development
There are a lot of growth opportunities, but they mostly involve moving into management
Handicapped Accessibility
Can't really comment on this personally, but my understanding is that any necessary accommodations are made
Overall compensation for your work
I could probably make a higher salary somewhere else, but all in all, including intangible benefits, I feel I'm compensated fairly
Inclusive / Diverse
We have a lot of interest groups aimed at inclusiveness and diversity
Environmental Friendliness
We have recycling containers in the office, but other than that I don't know what's being done to reduce carbon footprint
Workplace Safety
There are a number of comfortable offices around the country for those who don't work from home
Teamwork
Always looking for the best way to encourage collaboration
Attitude towards older colleagues
Age doesn't matter at all, whether you're 72 or 22
Support from management
My boss is always glad to help me out of I need support in dealing with a situation
Office / Work Environment
I work from home
Challenging Work
Work is challenging but not usually taxing
Job Security
Company has never laid off an employee
Internal Communication
We receive adequate communications on what's happening with the company as a whole
Gender Equality
Fairly equal distribution of men and women throughout the company at most levels, including executive
Freedom to work independently
I work from home, and my manager trusts me to get my work done without looking over my shoulder every day
