Pros

The company offers a very competitive compensation and benefits package. The company is very supportive of a good balance between work and personal life.

Cons

The only way you can advance in this company is if you fall into the corporate cult mentality and have an undying loyalty to management. It's almost difficult to accomplish anything useful and noteworthy for your personal career because of constantly changing business priorities caused by over commitment to customers by sales and business development. Since GM is one of their biggest customers and make up about 50% of their revenue expect to see more layoffs, hiring freezes, and job cuts in the next year.

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.
