Pros

Easy hire as the company has a hard time retaining and attracting talent. If you are desperate for a job, make sure to negotiate a good base salary as the benefits and bonuses are diminishing.

Cons

Don’t be fooled by the “featured review”! CDK is as dreadful as the majority of current and past employees have posted. Very few employees have been terminated for cause. Either their positions were offshored, or eliminated to save money. Those that have stayed are overworked, under paid and underappreciated, hence the toxicity. Ask your recruiter or HR to provide you with a copy of the employee survey, or at least how employees responded to the question “Would you recommend CDK to a friend”? (Oh, make sure the version has been independently verified by a 3rd party). You might also ask what their employee attrition rate. (Again, make sure it’s been independently verified by a 3rd party)

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.
