Pros

Um....pros.....pros...let's see here.... That's about it.

Cons

After the news article listing us as the 16th worst company in the country came out, the CEO put out an email blast to the entire company asking us not to post here and claims the internal survey states something different. 1) "Anonymous" internal surveys that QUITE OBVIOUSLY aren't, we aren't stupid enough to risk our jobs by telling the truth on something easily tracked 2) Managers play favorites and actively impede the career progress of others 3) Job stability? HA! That's funny. Unless you're in India there IS no job security 4) Positions that need to be filled 24/7, all overnight operations have shifted to India, and you're lucky if they ONLY show up 15-20 minutes late 5) You'll find yourself dramatically underpaid 6) The insurance offerings are laughable. Insanely high deductibles on crap coverage would be an improvement over what's currently offered 7) Middle management, who may or may not care about you and your career, have absolutely no direction from anyone above the Director level 8) Morale would have to improve dramatically to only be "the worst I've ever seen" 9) They cut any support for home shored employees (internet reimbursement) two weeks after the close of reviews only to put out an email blast a week later stating "home shored resources are so important". If we're important, why are you cutting assistance? 10) The yearly goals to get a bonus honestly look like they were written by a first year business student during a LSD fueled fever dream. 11) If you see a positive review here, it's fake. Upper level executives are being pushed to post positive reviews to try to stem the flood of the honest reviews from employees.

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.
