Pros

Convenient location, employee paid Orca cards, casual attire, overall nice group of people to work with. Deep ADP pockets will make some projects available that were formerly pipe dreams

Cons

Being part of the ADP machine means more off shore dev, more paperwork, fewer paid holidays, no beer on site for parties, and risk that good senior Coalitions will leave in 6-12 months as retention bonuses and remaining options mature.

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.
