Pros

It pays better than McDonalds. Flexible hours and you can wear practically anything you want. Nirf wars, free coffee. Close to where I live and prety easy to get to. The south end is cool.Beer 30!

Cons

lousy location, no comp for parking in Seattle, management has their head in a hole in the ground, too much "just do it" type of work, no pay raises, no way to get promoted, crappy work spaces. If you kiss up to your manager you can get promoted, no promotion for doing the extra or helping out.

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.
