Cubic reviews

Cubic is owned by Private Equity, and they have been employing a lot of cost cutting such as multiple rounds of layoffs, removing benefits like the $850 annual Lifestyle spending account, no more free EV charging (due to selling the property and doing a leaseback, so the new owners now charge employees for EV charging), and getting rid of the 9/80 schedule. They are also planning on implementing staggered shifts so instead of employees coming in to the office 8a-5p, different employees would come in at different times of the day.

Poor management culture and inconsistent leadership. Line management lacks basic people-management skills, with frequent micromanagement, shifting expectations, and communication that relies on pressure rather than support. Policies (flexible working, sickness absence, development/training) are applied inconsistently and sometimes incorrectly, creating confusion and anxiety for staff. There is little transparency, minimal constructive feedback, and limited investment in employee development. Attempts to raise concerns or resolve issues informally lead to short-term fixes at best, with problems quickly resurfacing. During periods of restructuring, the environment becomes particularly stressful, with low psychological safety and limited trust.
