Pros

It's hard to be positive when you are not sure if upper management cares about employees at all. New President starts, soon after 500 employees are laid off.

Cons

Activist investors are starting to throw their weight around. Not sure if their requests are good for CDK outside of a short term window.

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.
