Pros

A great place to work if you like a fast pace, thrive on change, and appreciate smart people. One of the only companies that is actually hiring and growing in Seattle because we are positioned to help our customers get more effective with how they spend their money in the advertising space.

Cons

If you need a lot of structure and someone always telling you what or how to do Cobalt is a tough place to be. Things are moving too quickly and the space is too unpredictable to be a highly structured environment.

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.
