Pros

It's a relaxed work environment in both dress and decor. We work in a restored ice house in SODO - and no one throws a better party than Cobalt. We work hard and play harder. Average age is about 27 and if you're 50 you're ancient...but cool.

Cons

There is no dress code....but afterall, it IS Seattle. Nuff said? If you don't mind a co worked with Green or Blue hair, a mohawk or wearing their PJs to the office, you'll fit in just fine. If you shop at Banana Republic or somewhere trendy, you will be in the top 5%

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.
