Pros

Some awesome people still hanging in there. Lots of great friends made along the way

Cons

The Titanic analogy wasn't for naught. The first class leadership has no idea how things are in steerage. The folks remaining after the most recent layoff are overworked, under paid, and leaving in droves - like rats, you could say.... They are taking the half-full life boats, and with luck, the ELT will be left with a random door to hang onto in the frigid water.

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.
