Pros

base pay is good people are great (at least in R&D) there are some good benefits that remain

Cons

Benefits keep getting taken away moral is non-existent constant uncertainty layoffs every few months the long rumored looming sale has everyone worried ZERO direction priorities change constantly often the same day promotions for developers aren't very frequent, individuals will get stuck at a position and never promoted even when they should be most developers get stuck at SEIII CEO is here to cut cut cut cut cut, he is not a leader Nobody has any answers to serious questions or concerns I could go on and on

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.
