Pros

it's a free country so you don't HAVE to work at CDK Global.

Cons

I could rant all day but it all can be summed up as: Honesty - the company lacks the ability to be honest about almost any action taken. Last week more than 700 CDK Global associates were let go. This morning our division leader told us they did this because: "They are listening to us" What?! It's such a dishonest statement. The execs that run the company have been trying to sell CDK for 2 years. The mass layoffs had nothing to do with frontline associates and everything to do with the sale.

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.
