Pros

Latest technology to work on (Hadoop, Spark, Spring J2EE, some of the best minds to work with. Advantage of being market leader in Auto retail industry. Good HR policies for employees mostly inherited from previous company (ADP). Growth of company in India has been promising. Innovation culture.

Cons

Better coordination needed among COEs, currently every group is spending energy in coming up with own solutions. Reuse across the org is a challenge. Teams are still driven by leaders of COEs rather than by common shared strategy. Few issues with smoothing Finance and Admin process in India.

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.
