What's the company culture like at CDK Global?
Really depends on where you work and who you work with... huge company with vastly different cultures all over the world.
Tries to hard to be cutting edge and contemporary buisness environment with "collaboration" being the primary push. Massive layoffs to bring in younger, cheaper employees that are just put of college/high school. Would work great if everything the company sells/supported wasn't legacy technologies.
What does the leadership team at CDK Global need to get better at?

Care about the products we sell and not getting the stock price to 75 dollars, and then they cash out, the company gets sold off in pieces.

Too low for the amount of hours worked. At least if you are on salary.

Not really, it's. It that kind if company since it became cdk.
We have outings but it's more like a company wide thing. Our team specifically doesnt have any. It depends on your manager and your department.
Are there any attractive people in your office?
ha. No.
There's a few, but I wouldn't say it's a bunch of "pretty" people walking around here.

No.
Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't. Again, it's become more of "just a job" for me.
