Pros

benefits, paycheck, and some very nice coworkers.

Cons

layoffs have become a monthly event. this is happening at the same time that company spends lavishly on consultants and outsources as many jobs as possible out of the country.

Hi there. We'd like to take a moment to address your concerns - while we were able to predict some situations prior to the spin, we've found that a lot of processes needed attention in ways we couldn't foresee. However, we've been successful in reducing the number of duplicate or redundant positions, we've built stronger teams, and we're improving internal efficiency. This is very important for our growth on a global scale. We need to expand global teams to effectively provide excellence in customer service to our international clients.

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.
