Very fast fall

Maybe they couldn’t completely stop the decline, but couldn’t the leadership do anything to mitigate the decline of this company? It's awful what's going on. I hope to be able to get a new job as soon as possible, because it's become unbearable to... — read more

Disability leave

I’ve broken my leg but everything I’m going through is somehow less stressful than what I’m most afraid of which is being fired when I come back from disability leave. I wouldn't be the first such case. There seems to be less of those who kept the... — read more

Last one out turn off the lights!

It's not that I care much about the situation here next year and in the future, but I'm pretty sure it can only get worse here. What will this company look like when all the skilled and capable people leave? They think they will somehow be able... — read more

An example of what incompetent leadership can do

I gave notice but at the same time I am angry that I had to give notice. This was a company I used to love working for and I thought I would stay here longer. However, no. I was forced to look for new options only because incompetent leadership... — read more

Management Quitting in Mass

Every manager can’t seem to last more then a year. Not sure if this is just this company but this is a red flag for sure. I recommend staying away from management positions here.

Where does disastrous business strategy lead?

Everyone who has any other option gets out of here. I'm here for a few more days. I feel sorry for the people who are still stuck here, I hope they will escape from this company ASAP, but it will be interesting to watch from a distance how the... — read more

I admit my mistake!

Unlike those at the top who don’t admit their mistakes, it all became easier for me when I admitted to myself that I was wrong when I came to the CDK. It was only then that I started looking for a new job. I think for most people this company was a... — read more

Title changes at CDK

So, the company just had title changes ("realignment") across the board. Many folks seem to have been hard hit, by unfairly given lower titles, irrespective of their previous positions, experience, contribution, skills etc. The company is going to... — read more

Severance

How disappointing is the severance package? Have there been any changes to the severance plan in the meantime? I doubt this joke from the company is generous when it comes to severance pay. I would love to leave before they give me layoff, I'm... — read more

No reason for so many layoffs

Does such a large number of people really have to lose their jobs? Is the company overdoing it a bit with these cuts? My opinion is that top dogs could have prevented the layoffs of a large number of people just by being able to control their greed... — read more 

Whom does this company exist for?

Top dogs don’t care about employees or customers. Employees but also customers are increasingly dissatisfied, for a reason too. I wonder then, for whom does this company even exist if no one is satisfied. For top dogs? It seems that they are the... — read more 

Is it possible to stop disaster?

This is a great question that someone asked in one of the previous threads - is it now even possible to stop the disaster or will such a downward spiral eventually result in bankruptcy? I don't think that the bankrupcy will happen, but again... I... — read more

This made me think

How bad is a company that you work for when there is so very little transparency the only avenue you can find information concerning layoffs is on websites such as these? It’s pretty bad in my opinion. Sometimes I feel as if we are purposely kept in... — read more

Is it just me?

I feel like the company is tearing apart at the seams. Our ELT seems to be failing us. We seem to be more disorganized than ever with a lack of vision and what appears to be mismanagement at the very core of it all. I see good people leaving left and... — read more 

Details please

I heard there were layoffs recently but no details were given after that. People seem to be keeping quiet. Not sure if it was just rumors but if true can anyone provide information on how many were impacted, how the layoffs were handled, was there... — read more 

How big are the layoffs?

Luckily, I left the company two months ago. I heard that that the layoffs that are happening are quite large. How accurate is that? I hope not. It is awful how non-transparent this company has always been. If this will mean anything to anyone... — read more 

When will the Hoffman Estates office be closed?

it is becoming more and more clear that San Jose is now the center of the universe for all things management direction, thought, leadership, and salaries that are double anywhere else in the country.

People are demoralized

Does it seem to you that the situation here has never been more tense and that people have less motivation to work than ever? I know of several other colleagues who, like me, have recently prioritized looking for a new job. Unfortunately, this is... — read more 

RSUs at CDK as part of total compensation

A CDK recruiter reached out to me about PM roles at CDK. Does CDK offer RSUs as part of compensation? The recruiter was pretty evasive about the topic. This is in regards to a Level IV PM role. Also, what does TC look like

Is your work sufficiently compensated?

Got layed off from this company a few years ago and got severance pay. I’m not going to name my department, but we had so many talented people leave CDK and go on and work at some pretty impressive places. I also saw a 30% increase in pay at my next... — read more

HR organization - more messed up than you think

How do you judge a company’s culture is messed up? One way to look at Glassdoor reviews to see what people say but there is another way, take a look at the HR function and evaluate what’s going to be coached. For last few years, HR teams... — read more
