CDK Global Reviews

Pros

Advancement opportunities. Open line of communication and Open door policy. Benefits start day 1 and there is now a policy available that the company pays for. Good starting wage. Good bonuses that are easy to make. Attendance policy and shift trades. Diverse atmosphere.

Cons

Employees are treated like children by some management.

Pros

There are some very talented engineers. Many of the more senior engineers have been with the company for an impressive number of years. Some projects are interesting, and may allow engineers to try new things.

Cons

You're going to have Zoom meetings at inconvenient times, no matter where you are. Development teams will have members in the U.S. Pacific and Central time zones and in India. This is the worst on for those in India (evening meetings) and in California and Oregon (early morning meetings, as early as 6 a.m.). Since everyone is working remotely, there's not much chance as an incoming employee to get to know your teammates, or to have them get to know you. Under these circumstances, you might find that longer-tenured employees are supportive on the surface, but not really supportive. Agile development: it's followed in name, mostly in the guise of Scrum; but it's just skin deep. The company on the whole is more Waterfall-oriented. There aren't any professional Scrum Masters, only engineers with an interest and (maybe) training. Also, managers like to participate on all of the Scrum ceremonies; in no sense are such teams self-organizing or self-managed. An incoming engineer at a senior level is expected to absorb a great deal of organizational and domain-specific knowledge in a hurry and quickly become a major contributor to multiple projects. That may work out, or not. If it doesn't, don't expect to hear anything about it from your management until it's too late to correct course. Engineers don't get promoted readily. There are very high achieving engineers with a massive number of years in the company who only have a middling rank. Diversity in U.S. hiring is a goal, but not as much of a practice as in many other technology companies. If your goal is to make the world appreciably better, you might not be satisfied here.

Pros

Company does not value employees, tends to chew great people up and spit them out...talks a good game, but this place will not value you nor your contributions...the pros will be very short lived

Cons

The only way to succeed in this company is if you are willing to give up any resemblance of professionalism and resort to developing a junior high, backbiting, deceitful, mentality and have zero consideration for others...then you will do well

Pros

Good job experience for the resume

Cons

The position can be demanding and stressful

Pros

Unlimited sick and PTO Work from home Health and 401k benefits are slightly better than average Team work is great and we support one another well Good Covid19 plans

Cons

Salary is still on the lower end need Need better yearly raises to make up for low pay Wish 401k was 100% instead of tiered down Management needs to listen to its people and be more active in software issues.
