Cubic acquired GATR and things have gone downhill ever since...

Pros

- Great employees (locally) - Lots of employee engagement activities/lunches/events - Easy hiring process (when they aren't on a hiring freeze) - Very helpful HR (the onboarding process was very thorough, and he even gave me a building tour, then helped me get logged into my computer which was set up by IT and ready to go on day 1 - all of which was very different from my previous employer)

Cons

- Constantly changing the programs we are expected to use, and we are rarely or never consulted about whether we think they are good/better than our current systems, but rather Cubic forces them down our throats from Senior management down - We keep acquiring new small companies to help "grow our business" but then they lay people off because we aren't doing well financially that particular week. Clearly they are more worried about making the acquisitions than keeping their employees. We might have a meeting with Senior Leaders who will tell us how well our business unit is doing, only to hear later that week that we are getting rid of people to cut costs. - Extreme lack of direction. We are told today that THIS is priority and needs to be completed ASAP, only to be told tomorrow to hold on that and now lets prioritize something else. Makes it hard to commit to any single project and give it your all. - Lots of employees feel trapped in their current job/role and feel there is no real room for growth or advancement - Benefits used to be great, but have continued getting more expensive and less coverage - Pay is pretty good if you're an engineer, otherwise don't expect much

Top Down Toxic

Anonymous employee

Pros

The rank and file are some of the best, hardworking people I've ever worked with. Compensation seems on par or better for the area, good benefits.

Cons

The company tries to roll out initiatives and improve the culture, but there can be no improvement since the toxic culture comes from the very top. The CEO gives lip service to things like diversity, work/life balance and things like that, but his actions show that he actually doesn't care about any of it. He's created an atmosphere of fear and backstabbing and has surrounded himself with yes-men (and women) who are eager to do his bidding and will throw anyone under the bus to do it. Overpaid VPs do jobs that no one can explain. Meanwhile, the employees actually doing the work are either laid off or are leaving for greener pastures. Everyone is squeezed and forced to work long hours with no recognition or appreciation. In fact, the harder we work, the harder we're driven by management.
