CDK Global Reviews

Cons

Since CDK is the leader in automotive marketing, we sometimes get a bad wrap. And sometimes from associates that were let go, and complete a Glass Door review. The bad thing is that people who were part of the problem, and not part of the solution, under-rate CDK. I have been here for 10 years, and I can honestly recommend my neighbors or relatives to come work for CDK if you want to be treated with respect, be rewarded for your hard work and commitment, and want to make a difference in this industry. Nobody else is doing what CDK is doing in automotive.

Cons

Not too many cons, have good opportunity to work in many locations or remotely dependent on position, major holidays are taken off, good benefits with 401K match

Cons

The company priority shifted to margins & making the board profitable. Everything else didn't matter anymore & the job/benefits got worse as time went on.

Cons

"Elite" leadership team is far from elite. Their idea of fueling innovation is cutting, cutting, cutting and keeping pay low as possible (but not for themselves of course). The competence and commitment of senior product directors ran off with with their strategic vision into the sunset and have been MIA ever since. Many "full stack" developers do the bare minimum only to get back to reddit for the remaining 7.5 hours of the day. Senior developers from the old empire have no intention of breaking old habits that plague the various fragmented systems held together by duct tape and bandaids.

Cons

Pay was garbage in comparison to a lot of companies. Many people left for Amazon or Microsoft and got significant pay raises. I was let go when a new CEO came in and did a company wide cut of staff to be profitable. This is not the same company as when I joined years ago.

Cons

Layoffs employees to cut cost
Training overseas employees to take position, company would tell you otherwise though but are bad at hiding it
Morale is somewhere between Hell and a landfill

Cons

Normal frustrations of being a part of a large corporation with many departments and levels of bureaucracy .

Cons

Trending to be more and more revenue driven, rather than customer driven.

Cons

Every year, every month, perks and benefits declined. They started moving as many jobs as they could to India, no one felt as if their jobs were safe. They released products at such a frantic rate that they don't wait to fix major bugs and UI issues, so employees aren't proud of CDK products. The best they can say is that they're proud of the POTENTIAL of those products.

Cons

-no product organization left
-no leaders left, just yes men and micromanagers
