Pros

CDK Global follows the Safe methodology and has a pretty good product stack . Although it has legacy tech stack, it is modernizing in many areas including AI.

Cons

There is some level of micro-management by leadership and in general work-life balance is skewed as multiple ad-hoc and unnecessary tasks are given other than the normal KPIs and execution tasks.

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits (if that outweighs a toxic culture for you. My time at CDK has shown me what good leadership does NOT look like.

Cons

Leadership and management culture were the biggest issues. Poor managers are protected and good employees are left carrying the consequences. There is a strong culture of micromanagement, shifting expectations, and documentation over development. Honest feedback wasn't valued and accountability seemed to stop at management. Over time I watched team morale suffer, trust disappearing, and fellow talented employees leaving in sake of their sanity.
