Pros

Very innovative and up to the minute technology wise. Great Bennies and opportunity to make some cash! Cobalt is very family oriented. Faith, Family and Job are the considered norms. Safety 1st with regards to the weather. In some cases you can telecommute. They are very generous with time off and there are several ways to increase your income.

Cons

Too many old timers that are afraid of change. Once change is reconized it takes ion's to get the ball rolling. Management will tend to turn a deaf ear to an innovation or idea that has been previously shot down even though the change is necessary. Lack of recognition when you are the one that came up with that idea.

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.
