Shell of a company being driven like a Tesla on autopilot crashing into a parked firetruck. #Greed #Eggs and #Scram.
Pros
Average pay and average benefits with a faux "startup" veneer.
Cons
The company was split from ADP and taken public. The future looked bright and then the new CEO Brian and his executives came into the fray beholden to shareholders and not the stakeholders. Employee layoffs abounded and reductions to benefits for employees are meant to drive long-term talent to leave the company. All hiring of north America backfill positions is frozen. All contract employment is being canceled after broken promises of conversion to full-time employment. Empty bench seats are empty as entire core teams disappear. This entire time the SLT has espoused fake news about making the company better, but has showed they only really care about driving the stock prices higher to meet short-term gains. Executive decisions go against all logic when you look at them until you realize they are concertedly working to only keep the lights on while forcing out "expensive" employees. The tightening of expenses and support is obtuse at best or an internally calculated attack on the companies long term stability and health to make it open to acquisition. Major client systems are ran without high availability or disaster recovery plans. Products sold to customers are cobbled together and held in place with duct tape. Subject matter experts are forced to leave or are laid off without regard for product health or support, but they keep selling more and oversubscribing. CDK at its core is a technology company providing SaaS and PaaS services. Plain and simple the SLT does not have the acumen or skills to lead this type of company. They are resorting to old business tricks (that failed terribly at Hertz!) to make the company appear healthy and profitable. Anything that can be done to increase the shareholder value is a fair game.
