Pros

- Lots of opportunity for independent work and decision-making - Low management oversight if you've proven you can deliver - Very low stress, flexible environment, and pleasant people to work with - Good opportunity for advancement - Company outlook feels positive under the new management - No pay cuts during covid

Cons

- Relatively high amount of churn on new developers; people who have been around for 5+ years rarely leave but newer people seem to be a bit of a revolving door (probably related to compensation) - Compensation is a bit on the low side compared to other companies in the area - Legacy code base is a chore to work with; not enough resources to modernize at an appropriate pace

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.
