Pros

Lots of historical technical issues that need bringing up to current standards let people learn and apply all kinds of knowledge and experience. Very young workforce (which can be a good thing or a bad thing).

Years of this, along with high turnover has made Cobalt a mess as far as technology goes...

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.
