Pros

Free Bus Pass, flexible working hours. If you like working 8 hour days this is the job for you. However, be warned they will keep giving you more work and more accounts because employee turnover is so high and they do not bring in new employees.

Cons

Everything. Cobalt is not competitive with industry standards. They are very cheap about giving raises and they bring in a lot of less qualified or inexperienced employees so that they can be cheap and not have to pay as much in salary for their workforce.

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.
