I have never, in my entire career, worked for a company that was as confused as Cubic is. Any internal commitment to a course of action was generally worth less than the cost of the email that conveyed it. In retrospect, given the acquisition, this makes more sense (can you say "pump and dump" 3x really fast?). I'm surprised that Brad Feldmann is still helming anything. I did appreciate his COVID strategy, but if he'd only applied that same strategic thinking to the rest of the company, Cubic could have done some really neat things. The provincial in-fighting and unprofessional conduct among senior technical staff in San Diego make daily work like dealing with 7 year olds. Avoid... The best was having 401K contributions turned off for about six months. We were told that this occurred to prevent layoffs. Layoffs occurred. Then it became obvious that the real reason (among other actions) was to prop up accounting numbers and make the company more palatable for sale.
