- Great team to work with - Great co-workers - Decent benefits

Cons

- Lack of good management - This translates to poor product decisions - This translates to only sustaining bottomline numbers - This translates to mass layoffs including all talented and high performing employees. Layoff is more than 500+ on July 12 and July 13 combined. Truly Friday the 13th for the company. - Expect more attrition in coming months

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.
